We are excited to share our manuscript published @brainpathol. In this study, we show that mice heterozygous for Xpr1, only known inorganic phosphate exporter, present with brain vascular calcifications and microangiopathy. We provide a new mouse model to study primary familial brain calcification and provide evidence of vascular pathology, in addition to calcifications, in mouse model of this disease.
