Pathological deposition of calcium salts in the globus pallidus.

HPO HP:0031627

Summary

Body system
Abnormality of the nervous system

3 genes linked to Globus pallidus calcification

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Globus pallidus calcification is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.

GeneHow often it is seenConditions
AGO1argonaute RISC component 1AlwaysIn 1 condition
CMPK2cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 2AlwaysIn 1 condition
NAA60N-alpha-acetyltransferase 60, NatF catalytic subunitSometimes (5–29%)In 1 condition

How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
