This report describes a 32-year-old woman presenting since childhood with progressive calcium pyrophosphate disease (CPPD), characterized by severe arthropathy and chondrocalcinosis involving multiple peripheral joints and intervertebral disks. Because ANKH mutations have been previously described in familial CPPD, the proband's DNA was assessed at this locus by direct sequencing of promoter and coding regions and revealed 3 sequence variants in ANKH. Sequences of exon 1 revealed a novel isolated nonsynonymous mutation (c.13 C&gt;T), altering amino acid in codon 5 from proline to serine (CCG&gt;TCG). Sequencing of parental DNA revealed an identical mutation in the proband's father but not the mother. Subsequent clinical evaluation demonstrated extensive chondrocalcinosis and degenerative arthropathy in the proband's father. In summary, we report a novel mutation, not previously described, in ANKH exon 1, wherein serine replaces proline, in a case of early-onset severe CPPD associated with metabolic abnormalities, with similar findings in the proband's father.
