Case Report: Cervical chondrocalcinosis as a complication of Gitelman syndrome [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Gitelman syndrome is an inherited tubulopathy leading to a hypokalaemic metabolic alkalosis with hypomagnesaemia and hypocalciuria. Most cases are due to mutations in SLC12A3, encoding the apical thiazide sensitive co-transporter in the distal convoluted

A Phage Display-Identified Short Peptide Capable of Hydrolyzing Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystals—The Etiological Factor of Chondrocalcinosis

Molecules, 2021
Chondrocalcinosis is a metabolic disease caused by the presence of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in the synovial fluid. The goal of our endeavor was to find out whether short peptides could be used as a dissolving factor for such crystals.
