ABCC6 deficiency promotes dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis

Abstract ABCC6 deficiency promotes ectopic calcification; however, circumstantial evidence suggested that ABCC6 may also influence atherosclerosis. The present study addressed the role of ABCC6 in atherosclerosis using Ldlr −/− mice and pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) patients. Mice lacking the Abcc6...
