Mutations in XPR1, a gene encoding an inorganic phosphate exporter, have recently been identified in patients with primary familial brain calcification (PFBC). Using Sanger sequencing, we screened XPR1 in 18 unrelated patients with PFBC and no SLC20A2, PDGFB, or PDGFRB mutation. XPR1 variants were tested in an in vitro physiological complementation assay and patient blood cells were assessed ex vivo for phosphate...
