Inherited deficiencies in ABCC6 lead to pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) and related conditions, characterized by calcification in various tissues, particularly affecting the skin, eyes, and cardiovascular system. Although PXE does not directly impact the nervous system, secondary neurological issues arise from cerebrovascular complications, increasing the risk of strokes linked to arterial blockages resembling atherosclerosis. This review investigates the connection between ABCC6 mutations and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), expanding the understanding of PXE and related phenotypes. Mutations in ABCC6, identified as causing PXE, contribute to systemic metabolic dysfunction, with significant implications for cerebrovascular health. An association between ABCC6 mutations and cerebral SVD has been suggested in various studies, particularly in populations with distinct genetic backgrounds. Emerging evidence indicates that pathogenic mutations increase the risk of ischemic strokes, with both homozygous and heterozygous carriers showing susceptibility. Mechanistically, ABCC6 deficiency is implicated in dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis, further exacerbating cerebrovascular risks. Increased arterial pulsatility, linked to carotid siphon calcification, may also contribute to microvascular damage and subsequent brain injury. Understanding these mechanisms is vital for developing targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for managing cerebrovascular risks in PXE patients. This review emphasizes the need for comprehensive genetic screening and the consideration of traditional vascular risk factors in patient management, highlighting the complex interplay between genetic mutations and environmental influences affecting cerebrovascular health. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to elucidate the causal pathways linking arterial calcification, pulsatility, and brain damage in PXE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes16070728","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]],"date-time":"2025-06-24T09:24:18Z","timestamp":1750757058000},"page":"728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["ABCC6 Involvement in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease: Potential Mechanisms and Associations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7530-818X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marialuisa","family":"Zedde","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology Unit, Stroke Unit, Azienda Unit\u00e0 Sanitaria Locale-IRCCS di Reggio Emilia, Viale Risorgimento 80, 42123 Reggio Emilia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0512-9298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosario","family":"Pascarella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroradiology Unit, Ospedale Santa Maria della Misericordia, AULSS 5 Polesana, 45100 Rovigo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16860","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M110918200","article-title":"Loss of ATP-dependent Transport Activity in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum-associated Mutants of Human ABCC6 (MRP6)","volume":"277","author":"Seidl","year":"2002","journal-title":"J.
