Abstract:
Familial tumoral calcinosis (FTC) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ectopic calcifications and elevated serum phosphate levels. Recently, mutations in the GALNT3 gene have been described to cause FTC. The FTC phenotype is regarded as the metabolic mirror image of hypophosphatemic conditions, where causal mutations are known in genes FGF23 or PHEX. We investigated an individual with FTC who was negative for GALNT3 mutations. Sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation in...     »
