Growth and disease burden in children with hypophosphatasia
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 ...

Background Adult hypophosphatasia is an uncommon inherited disorder of mineral homeostasis affecting bone. It arises from mutations within the Alkaline Phosphatase, Biomineralization Associated (ALPL) gene, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline ...

Comprehensive treatment approaches for skeletal deformities in hypophosphatasia: a case study of ALPL gene variants [PDF]
This study presents a case report of an 11-year-old boy with hypophosphatasia due to compound heterozygous ALPL gene genetic variants, focusing on the treatment effects of comprehensive approaches for this rare genetic disorder.

The Effect of Asfotase Alfa on Plasma and Urine Pyrophosphate Levels and Pseudofractures in a Patient With Adult‐Onset Hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disease caused by variants of the ALPL gene encoding tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. Adult‐onset HPP (adult HPP), known as a mild form of HPP, develops symptoms involving osteomalacia after the age of 18 ...

Proposed diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of hypophosphatasia in children and adolescents: results from the HPP International Working Group [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inborn error of metabolism that presents variably in both age of onset and severity. HPP is caused by pathogenic variants in the ALPL gene, resulting in low activity of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP ...

Revisiting the Genetics of Hypophosphatasia. [PDF]
Overview of the genetic concepts in hypophosphatasia reviewed in this manuscript. ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited monogenic disorder that is typically caused by variants in the tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) gene.

Mild hypophosphatasia may be twice as prevalent as previously estimated: an effective clinical algorithm to detect undiagnosed cases [PDF]
Objectives Since the prevalence of hypophosphatasia (HPP), a rare genetic disease, seems to be underestimated in clinical practice, in this study, a new diagnostic algorithm to identify missed cases of HPP was developed and implemented.
