Abstract excerpt
Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperphosphatemia and ectopic calcifications. Mutations in GALNT3, which encodes a key enzyme responsible for O-glycosylation of FGF23, represent a major genetic cause of HFTC. This modification is essential for the stability and secretion of FGF23. We investigated a 4-year and 6-month-old Chinese girl...
