Hereditary arterial and articular multiple calcification syndrome

Hereditary arterial and articular multiple calcification syndrome is a very rare genetic vascular disease of autosomal recessive inheritance, described in less than 20 patients to date, characterized by adult-onset (as early as the second decade of life) isolated calcification of the arteries of the lower extremities (including the iliac, femoral, and tibial arteries) as well as the capsule joints of the fingers, wrists, ankles and feet, and that usually manifests with mild paresthesias of the lower extremities, intense joint pain and swelling, and early onset arthritis of affected joints.

Also known as: CALJA, calcification of joints and arteries, ACDC, arterial calcification and distal joint calcification, arterial calcification due to CD73 deficiency, arterial calcification due to deficiency of Cd73
