While dental pulp calcifications and root anomalies may be inconsequential incidental findings in dental radiographs, they can, especially in combination, represent a clue, hidden in plain sight, for the diagnosis of hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC). HFTC is an autosomal recessive disease of mineral metabolism characterized by sometimes massive, painful calcification around large joints, systemic inflammation, dental pulp calcification, and thistle-shaped roots. This paper describes a woman with HFTC who endured not only the symptoms of HFTC for decades, but also the frustration of not knowing the cause. The diagnosis was finally made at the age of 73 years, when the connection between a large right shoulder calcification and hyperphosphatemia was made. The dental findings were likely present on her initial radiographs taken in childhood. Increased awareness of the association between characteristic dental findings and HFTC may allow for earlier diagnosis and interventions to improve the care of patients with this rare condition.

Objective: To study the molecular basis of hereditary antithrombin (AT) deficiency in a Chinese family. It will help us understand the pathogenesis of this type of disease. Method: AT activity (AT:A) and the AT antigen (AT:Ag) level were tested by chromogenic substrate and immunoturbidimetry, respectively. To identify the novel mutations, SERPINC1 gene sequencing was carried out. The possible impact of the mutations was analyzed by model and bioinformatic analyses. Results: AT:A and the AT:Ag level of the proband were 43% and 113 mg/L (normal range: 98–119% and 250–360 mg/L), respectively. Sequencing analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations, including a frameshift mutation (c.318_319insT) resulting in Asn75stop and a missense mutation (c.922G>T) resulting in Gly276Cys. The bioinformatic and model analyses indicated that these mutations may disrupt the function and structure of the AT protein. Conclusion: We detected 2 novel heterozygous mutations (c.318_319insT and c.922G>T) in the proband, and these were associated with decreased AT:A.
