A study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases uncovers new genetic links to calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, a common type of inflammatory arthritis.

In a first-of-its-kind genome-wide association study (GWAS) researchers have discovered two genes, RNF144B and ENPP1, that cause calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease in Americans of ...

Researchers will present the first-ever study of fractures and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease at ACR Convergence 2023, the American College of Rheumatology's annual meeting.

Among the many unanswered questions about calcium pyrophosphate deposition — formerly called “pseudogout” — perhaps the most important is whether it causes osteoarthritis ...

Utilization of pyrophosphate imaging to identify patients with cardiac amyloidosis has increased, although questions remain regarding its use for screening and to assess responses to therapy ...

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease is arthritis caused by calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals (Figure 1). Until recently, CPPD disease has been referred to as pseudogout.
