Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: In the past 2 years, 3 genes (SLC20A2, PDGFRB, and PDGFB) were identified as causative of primary familial brain calcification (PFBC), enabling genotype-specific phenotyping. OBJECTIVES: To provide a systematic literature review on the neuroimaging and clinical phenotype of genetically confirmed PFBC and summarize known pathophysiological mechanisms, to improve and harmonize future phenotype...
