A novel mutation in MYORG leads to primary familial brain calcification and cerebral infarction.

Abstract excerpt

Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by bilateral calcification mainly in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellar nuclei. Recently, the MYORG gene, as the first autosomal recessive causal gene for PFBC, was reported in six unrelated Chinese families. Patients with PFBC rarely present with cerebrovascular disease.
