Abstract excerpt
Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (hFTC) is a rare disorder of phosphate metabolism defined by hyperphosphatemia and ectopic calcifications in various locations. To date, recessive mutations have been described in three genes involving phosphate metabolism: FGF23, GALNT3, and α-Klotho, all of which result in the phenotypic presentation of hFTC. These mutations result in either inadequate intact...
