At least two forms exist, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. This disorder is caused by mutations of one of the ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS. Patients are predisposed to MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION and GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE.,CSP: rare, progressive inherited disorder resulting from extensive basophilic degeneration of elastic tissue, usually presenting after puberty and involving the skin, eye, and cardiovascular system.,NCI: A rare, progressive, autosomal recessive inherited disorder caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. It is characterized by calcification and fragmentation of the elastic fibers of the skin, retina, and cardiovascular system.
