Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Hyperphosphatemic familial tumorous calcinosis (HFTC) is characterized by deposits in childhood or (early) adulthood in and just under the skin around the joints, often on the hips, shoulders and elbows. Deposits may also occur in the soft tissues of the feet, legs, hands, and less commonly in blood vessels or the brain. HFTC develops quite gradually, and the deposits vary in size and can affect joint function. Other symptoms include ocular abnormalities (corneal calcification or angioid streaks in Bruch's membrane), inflammation of the diaphyses or hyperostosis and dental abnormalities. Low-symptom microlithiasis may develop in the testes. A similar condition like HTFC, hyperphosphatemia-hyperostosis syndrome, also results in elevated blood phosphate levels, excessive bone growth and bone lesions; it is now thought to be a mild variant of HFTC. Mutations in the FGF23, GALNT3, KL or SAMD9 genes cause HFTC; the disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Although the DNA diagnostic yield reaches >90% in typical cases, a negative molecular genetic result does not exclude clinical diagnosis.
