Can medical records unlock the secrets of rare calcification diseases?
NCT ID NCT07745179
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at medical records of people with two rare genetic conditions—ENPP1 deficiency and the early-onset form of ABCC6 deficiency—to map how these diseases progress over time. By collecting information on symptoms, imaging, and growth, researchers hope to better understand the natural course of these illnesses. The findings may help design and support future therapies for these conditions.
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
- This study could help researchers better understand these rare genetic diseases, potentially guiding the development of future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- As a retrospective review, it relies on existing records that may be incomplete or inconsistent, and it does not test any new treatment directly.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria Participants were eligible for inclusion if they met at least one of the following criteria: 1. Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) genotype, defined as two pathogenic mutations in ENPP1 and/or ABCC6, confirmed by mutational analysis, and a GACI phenotype confirmed by imaging or biopsy. 2. GACI phenotype confirmed by imaging or biopsy, with mutational analysis demonstrating that each parent carried at least one mutation in ENPP1 and/or ABCC6. 3. Biallelic mutations in ENPP1 and a clinical phenotype consistent with ENPP1 Deficiency. 4. Mutational analysis demonstrating that each parent carried at least one mutation in ENPP1, together with clinical signs and symptoms consistent with ENPP1 Deficiency in the participant. 5. Availability of medical records and source documentation sufficient for retrospective review. Exclusion Criteria 1. Insufficient medical records, imaging studies, or source documentation to support retrospective data collection. 2. Diagnosis not consistent with ENPP1 Deficiency, GACI, or early-onset ABCC6 Deficiency. 3. Inability to obtain informed consent from the participant or legally authorized representative, as required by local regulations.
