Arterial calcification due to CD73 deficiency

Medical condition

Arterial calcification due to CD73 deficiency
Other names	Calcification of joints and arteries

This condition is inherited via autosomal recessive manner
Causes	mutations in the NT5E gene

Arterial calcification due to CD73 deficiency or Calcification of joints and arteries is a rare genetic disorder affecting adults.^[1]

Signs and symptoms

This condition is characterised by calcification of the peripheral arteries.^[2]

This condition is caused by mutations in the 5'-Nucleotidase Ecto (NT5E) gene.^[3]

Medical evaluation and genetic test are used to ascertain Arterial calcification due to CD73 deficiency^[4]

This a rare disorder, up to 2020 less than 20 individuals have been reported to have the condition^[5]

This condition was first described in 2011.^[6]
