ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
NT5Egenetic mutations are known to result in calcification of joints and arteries (CALJA), and worldwide, 14 patients from 7 families have been reported.MethodsâandâResults:
A total of 5 patients from 2 independent families with CALJA were found in Japan. Of them, 3 complained of intermittent claudication (IC), and 1 suffered from bilateral chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Whole-exome sequencing analysis revealed an identical mutation pattern (c.G3C on the exon 1 start codon) that was unique compared withNT5Emutations reported in other countries.CONCLUSIONS:
Vascular specialists need to recognize CALJA as a rare cause of ischemic IC and CLTI.Palavras-chave
