Tumoral calcinosis, the Glossary

Index Tumoral calcinosis

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare condition in which there is calcium deposition in the soft tissue in periarticular location, around joints, outside the joint capsule.[1]

Alkaline phosphatase

The enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP, alkaline phenyl phosphatase) is a phosphatase with the physiological role of dephosphorylating compounds.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Alkaline phosphatase

Calcinosis

Calcinosis is the formation of calcium deposits in any soft tissue.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Calcinosis

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Calcium

Cell (biology)

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Cell (biology)

Dominance (genetics)

In genetics, dominance is the phenomenon of one variant (allele) of a gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the same gene on the other copy of the chromosome.

Elbow

The elbow is the region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Elbow

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

Fibroblast growth factor 23

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a protein and member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family which participates in the regulation of phosphate in plasma and vitamin D metabolism.

GALNT3

Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GALNT3 gene.

See Tumoral calcinosis and GALNT3

Hip

In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxaLatin coxa was used by Celsus in the sense "hip", but by Pliny the Elder in the sense "hip bone" (Diab, p 77) (coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Hip

Hyperphosphatemia

Hyperphosphatemia is an electrolyte disorder in which there is an elevated level of phosphate in the blood.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Hyperphosphatemia

Idiopathic disease

An idiopathic disease is any disease with an unknown cause or mechanism of apparent spontaneous origin.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Idiopathic disease

Joint

A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones, ossicles, or other hard structures in the body which link an animal's skeletal system into a functional whole.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Joint

Joint capsule

In anatomy, a joint capsule or articular capsule is an envelope surrounding a synovial joint.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Joint capsule

Kidney dialysis

Kidney dialysis (from Greek,, 'dissolution'; from,, 'through', and,, 'loosening or splitting') is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally. Tumoral calcinosis and kidney dialysis are Renal dialysis.

Klotho (biology)

Klotho is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KL gene.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Klotho (biology)

Neoplasm

A neoplasm is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Neoplasm

Phosphate

In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Phosphate

Serum (blood)

Serum is the fluid and solvent component of blood which does not play a role in clotting.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Serum (blood)

Shoulder

The human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Shoulder

Skin

Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and sensation.

See Tumoral calcinosis and Skin

Zebrafish

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a freshwater fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes.
