概要 |
Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is a rare and often fatal genetic disorder, characterized by calcification of the internal elastic lamina, fibrotic myointimal proliferation of muscular arteries, and resultant arterial stenosis. GACI is associated with biallelic inactivating mutations in ENPP1 in about 75% of the cases. ENPP1 generates PPi that inhibits hydroxyapatite crystal growth.
