A mouse with an N-Ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) Induced Trp589Arg Galnt3 mutation represents a model for hyperphosphataemic familial tumoural calcinosis.

Mutations of UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine polypeptide N-acetyl galactosaminyl transferase 3 (GALNT3) result in familial tumoural calcinosis (FTC) and the hyperostosis-hyperphosphataemia syndrome (HHS), which are autosomal recessive disorders characterised by soft-tissue calcification and hyper...
