Rare disease detectives: new study maps how two genetic conditions unfold in children
NCT ID NCT05050669
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows children aged 2 to 18 with confirmed ENPP1 deficiency or early-onset ABCC6 deficiency to understand how these rare diseases progress. Researchers will measure blood markers, check for calcification in arteries and organs, and track bone health and movement over time. No treatment is given—the goal is to gather natural history data to inform future care and research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better understand how these rare diseases develop and change over time, potentially guiding future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment being tested. It will not directly improve participants' health, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Individuals eligible to participate must meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Must provide written consent of the legally authorized representative/caregiver and assent for subjects after the nature of the study has been explained and prior to any research-related procedures, following the policies of the clinical site 2. Genetic confirmation of ENPP1 Deficiency or ABCC6 Deficiency 3. Male or female, aged 2 to \<18 years 4. In the opinion of the Investigator, must be willing and able to complete all aspects of the study 5. Agree to provide access to relevant medical records Exclusion Criteria: Individuals who meet the following exclusion criterion will not be eligible to participate: 1\. In the opinion of the Investigator and/or Sponsor, presence of any clinically significant disease (outside of those considered associated with the diagnosis of ENPP1 Deficiency or the early-onset form of ABCC6 Deficiency) that precludes study participation or may confound interpretation of study results, such as an unrelated bone, mineral, or muscle disease or genetic connective tissue disease
