nervous system
• F4/80-positive microglia are found around individual elements of the calcified aggregates observed in brain
• however, no additional focal increase in microglia is observed
• homozygotes display a few calcifications in the basal ganglia
• homozygotes display extensive, bilateral abnormal aggregates of calcified spheres in the thalamus
• calcified spheres are ~10 um in diameter while the size of aggregates is ~50-100 um
• homozygotes display a few calcifications in the cortex
• at 19 weeks of age, both sexes exhibit similar patterns of calcifications in the thalamus, basal ganglia, and brain cortex, unlike wild-type controls
• brain calcifications are found in close proximity to blood vessels, as shown by PAS staining
• however, no calcifications are detected in the cerebellum

immune system
• F4/80-positive microglia are found around individual elements of the calcified aggregates observed in brain
• however, no additional focal increase in microglia is observed

homeostasis/metabolism
• at 3 weeks of age, the average inorganic phosphate concentration [Pi] in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is 2.4-fold higher than that in wild-type controls (2.19 mM versus 0.90 mM, respectively)
• consequently, the average CSF [Pi]/serum [Pi] ratio is 0.57 relative to 0.19 in wild-type controls
• at 3 weeks of age, the average serum [Pi] is 0.84-fold lower than that in wild-type controls (4.01 mM versus 4.79 mM, respectively)

hematopoietic system
• F4/80-positive microglia are found around individual elements of the calcified aggregates observed in brain
• however, no additional focal increase in microglia is observed
