Brain Calcification v1.43 ECM1 Yetong Chen gene: ECM1 was added
gene: ECM1 was added to Brain Calcification. Sources: Expert list
Mode of inheritance for gene: ECM1 was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Publications for gene: ECM1 were set to 27398129; 26336196; 12603844
Phenotypes for gene: ECM1 were set to Urbach-Wiethe disease, MIM# 247100
Review for gene: ECM1 was set to AMBER
Added comment: Although reported cases with ECM1 status are limited, Urbach-Wiethe disease is commonly associated with brain calcification.
PMID 27398129 reports a patient with calcifications in both the hippocampi and amygdala. The patient was confirmed to have Urbach-Wiethe syndrome by skin biopsy. However, the paper does not explicitly mention whether genetic testing of the ECM1 gene or genomics testing was done for the patient.

PMID 26336196 reports 2 siblings diagnosed to have Urbach-Wiethe syndrome who developed bilateral basal ganglia calcification. The method of diagnosis and patients' ECM1 status is not mentioned.

PMID 12603844 reports unrelated 3 patients with ECM1 variants who developed temporal lobe calcification.
