A novel missense mutation in the ALPL gene causes dysfunction of the protein [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HP) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutation in the alkaline phosphatase, liver/bone/kidney (ALPL) gene with highly variable clinical manifestations. Efforts have been made to collect cases with novel mutations and to examine how a missense mutation affects ALPL protein function, which remains difficult to predict.

Six ALPL gene variants in five children with hypophosphatasia. [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by defective bone and tooth mineralization caused by mutations in the alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Here we performed clinical and molecular studies on 5 HPP children to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of the ALPL gene ...

Case Report: Variations in the ALPL Gene in Chinese Patients With Hypophosphatasia. [PDF]
Background: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an autosomal genetic disorder characterized biochemically by abnormal of bone parameters and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity as well as clinically by deficiency of teeth and bone mineralization. The clinical presentation is a continuum ranging from a prenatal lethal form with no skeletal mineralization to

Systemic effects of hypophosphatasia characterization of two novel variants in the <i>ALPL</i> gene. [PDF]
IntroductionHypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn metabolic error caused by mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) and leading to decreased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Although the main characteristic of this disease is bone involvement, it presents a great genetic and clinical variability, which ...

THU459 Hypophosphatasia With Normal ALPL Gene Test; A Case Report [PDF]
Abstract Disclosure: K. Alkwatli: None. L.Z. Khan: None. Introduction: Hypophosphatasia is a rare hereditary disorder caused by loss of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase activity, an essential enzyme in phosphate metabolism. Severe cases present perinatally and in early childhood.

Novel mutation in the ALPL gene with a dominant negative effect in a Japanese family [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) and inherited in either an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant manner. It is characterized clinically by defective mineralization of bone, dental problems, and low serum ALP levels. In the current report, we demonstrate a novel

Characterization of Genetic Variants of Uncertain Significance for the ALPL Gene in Patients With Adult Hypophosphatasia. [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) a rare disease caused by mutations in the ALPL gene encoding for the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase protein (TNSALP), has been identified as a potentially under-diagnosed condition worldwide which may have higher prevalence than currently established. This is largely due to the overlapping of its symptomatology with that

Pain and health-related quality of life in patients with hypophosphatasemia with and without ALPL gene mutations. [PDF]
BackgroundLow serum alkaline phosphatase levels are the hallmark of hypophosphatasia, a disorder due to pathogenic variants of the ALPL gene. However, some patients do not carry ALPL variants and the cause of low alkaline phosphatase remains unknown.

Different Dental Manifestations in Sisters with the Same ALPL Gene Mutation: A Report of Two Cases. [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disease caused by mutation of the alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene in an autosomal dominant or an autosomal recessive manner. The main symptoms of HPP are bone hypomineralization and early exfoliation of the primary teeth.

Severe hypophosphatasia: Characterization of fifteen novel mutations in the ALPL gene [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia is an inherited disorder characterized by defective bone mineralization and deficiency of serum and tissue liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase (L/B/K ALP) activity. We report the characterization of ALPL gene mutations in a series of 11 families from various origins affected by perinatal and infantile hypophosphatasia.
