TS plaques are different from AS plaques in terms of elemental components, surface morphology, and BMP-8a expression. Therefore, different calcification process and pathogenesis may be responsible for these two diseases. The results of our study showed that both TS and AS plaques have genetic footprint of Mycoplasma, but the level of calcium concentration-dependent exotoxins genes was found only in TS plaques.
