Hypophosphatasia: Clinical manifestations, diagnostic recommendations and therapeutic options
Hypophosphatasia is a very rare bone metabolism disorder caused by a deficiency in alkaline phosphatase activity, due to mutations in the ALPL gene. Its clinical hallmark is the impairment of skeletal and tooth mineralization, although extra-skeletal ...

Monitoring guidance for patients with hypophosphatasia treated with asfotase alfa. [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited, systemic, metabolic disorder caused by autosomal recessive mutations or a single dominant-negative mutation in the gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The disease is associated with

Different Dental Manifestations in Sisters with the Same ALPL Gene Mutation: A Report of Two Cases
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

Genetic Risk Factors for Atypical Femoral Fractures (AFFs): A Systematic Review [PDF]
Atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are uncommon and have been associated particularly with long-term antiresorptive therapy, including bisphosphonates. Although the pathogenesis of AFFs is unknown, their identification in bisphosphonate-naïve individuals ...

Correlations between 6-minute walk test, chair-rise test, and lower extremity functional scale among patients with hypophosphatasia. [PDF]
Purpose: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare disease characterized by skeletal and nonskeletal manifestations that can increase patient disability. The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is frequently used to assess mobility in patients with HPP, although the test ...
