ALPL-1 is a target for chimeric antigen receptor therapy in osteosarcoma [PDF]
Osteosarcoma (OS) remains a dismal malignancy in children and young adults, with poor outcome for metastatic and recurrent disease. Immunotherapies in OS are not as promising as in some other cancer types due to intra-tumor heterogeneity and considerable

Functional and In Silico Characterization of ALPL Gene Variants Reveals Genotype–Phenotype Correlations in Italian Hypophosphatasia Patients [PDF]
Background. Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare genetic disorder caused by impaired tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (ALPL/TNSALP) activity that impacts the musculoskeletal and neurological systems.

Infantile hypophosphatasia in a Chinese patient: identification and characterization of novel compound heterozygous ALPL mutations [PDF]
Here we report a Chinese infant with hypophosphatasia (HPP) carrying alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene mutations. Genetic analysis of the patient’s ALPL gene revealed a maternally inherited canonical splice-site variant (c.997+1G>T; pathogenic; PVS1 + PM2

Prenatal diagnosis of ALPL gene mutations in recurrent fetal skeletal dysplasia
Objective: One multiparity women had recurrent pregnancies of skeletal dysplasia. The karyotype and array-comparative genomic hybridization were unremarkable. Thus, trio whole exome sequencings were suggested.

Can we identify individuals with an ALPL variant in adults with persistent hypophosphatasaemia? [PDF]
Background Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by low levels of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Scarce evidence exists about features that should signal the potential association between hypophosphatasaemia and HPP in ...

Identification of a novel homozygous variant in the alkaline phosphate (ALPL) gene associated with hypophosphatasia [PDF]
The lack of awareness of patient risk factors, failure to obtain adequate family history, was discussed by clinical experience in prenatal testing of hypophosphatasia with a novel variant in the ALPL gene identified in the index case of the family.

Establishment of human periodontal ligament cell lines with ALPL mutations to mimic dental aspects of hypophosphatasia [PDF]
IntroductionBesides skeletal symptoms, dental abnormalities are a typical feature of the rare inherited disorder hypophosphatasia (HPP), which is caused by loss of function mutations in the ALPL gene (alkaline phosphatase, biomineralization associated ...

Phenotype and genotype of hypophosphatasia cases in Saudi Arabia: multi-center case cohort [PDF]
IntroductionHypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic disease caused by mutations in the ALPL gene. The disease is heterogeneous, complicating its diagnosis and delaying optimal management, leading to severe or lethal outcomes such as failure ...

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue-non-specific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Duplications of the ALPL gene account for fewer than 1% of the mutations causing HPP. It has been shown
