Description : Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic
disorder characterized by the progressive deposition of basic calcium phosphate crystals
in periarticular spaces, soft tissues, and sometimes bone (Chefetz et al., 2005).
The biochemical hallmark of tumoral calcinosis is hyperphosphatemia caused by increased
renal absorption of phosphate due to loss-of-function mutations in the FGF23 or GALNT3
gene. The term 'hyperostosis-hyperphosphatemia syndrome' is sometimes used when the
disorder is characterized by involvement of the long bones associated with the radiographic
findings of periosteal reaction and cortical hyperostosis. Although some have distinguished
HHS from FTC by the presence of bone involvement and the absence of skin involvement
(Frishberg et al., 2005), Ichikawa et al. (2010) concluded that the 2 entities represent
a continuous spectrum of the same disease, best described as familial hyperphosphatemic
tumoral calcinosis.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase
3 gene (GALNT3, 601756.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hyperphosphatemia; Normal to elevated serum 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol); Normal serum parathyroid hormone (PTH); Normal serum calcium; Increased serum FGF23; Increased percent tubular reabsorption of phosphorus;
