Familial CPPD (calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease)
|
| A rare inherited rheumatologic disease which causes calcification of articular fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage. It often associates with acute synovitis and osteoarthritis. The disease manifests in early adulthood (20-40 years old) and has a variable clinical phenotype. Mutations in the ANKH gene (human homologue of progressive ankylosis; 5p15.2), encoding a protein involved in cellular inorganic pyrophosphate transport, were identified in some cases of familial CPPD. Other familial cases have been linked to mutation in the Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Super Family member 11B (TNFRSF11B) gene coding for osteoprotegerin (OPG) Other causative genes are yet to be determined. Has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with variable penetrance. |
