Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by defective bone and teeth mineralization, and deficiency of serum and bone alkaline phosphatase activity. The prevalence of severe forms of the disease has been estimated at 1/100 000.

Current Approaches in Management of Patients with Hypophosphatasia
he authors present the latest data on the hypophosphatasia (HPP) management in children. Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disease caused by deficiency of tissue-specific alkaline phosphatase due to mutation in the ALPL gene.

Growth and disease burden in children with hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Objective: Hypophosphatasia, an inborn error of metabolism characterized by impaired bone mineralization, can affect growth. This study evaluated relationships between anthropometric parameters (height, weight, and body mass index) and clinical ...

Bilateral healing of pseudofractures in hypophosphatasia with teriparatide: a case report [PDF]
Background Hypophosphatasia is a rare, inherited metabolic bone disease characterized by impaired activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase leading to pathological mineralization of hard tissue, predisposing to poorly healing fractures. Limited

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a group of inherited disorders characterised by the impaired mineralisation of bones and/or teeth and low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. It is caused by a mutation in the ALPL gene encoding the tissue-non-specific isoenzyme of ALP (TNSALP) resulting in a loss of function.

Case series demonstrating the effectiveness of Zn supplements in adults with hypophosphatasia who were overlooked for a long time [PDF]
During routine medical examinations, we incidentally diagnosed 11 individuals with hypophosphatasia, which is a condition that has previously gone unrecognized. Six patients also had low levels of serum Zn.

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 ...
