Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease is a common form of arthritis affecting older individuals. This disease is characterised by high levels of pyrophosphate in articular cartilage, resulting in calcium pyrophosphate crystal formation in humans and inflammatory and degenerative arthritis. A loss-of-function mutation in the TNFRSF11B locus (also known as CCAL1), which encodes osteoprotegerin...
