Functional involvement of PHOSPHO1 in matrix vesicle-mediated skeletal mineralization [PDF]
UNLABELLED: PHOSPHO1 is a phosphatase highly expressed in bone. We studied its functional involvement in mineralization through the use of novel small molecule inhibitors.

Biochemical, clinical and genetic characteristics in adults with persistent hypophosphatasaemia; Data from an endocrinological outpatient clinic in Denmark [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn disease caused by pathogenic variants in ALPL. Low levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are a biochemical hallmark of the disease. Scarce knowledge about the prevalence of HPP in Scandinavia exists, and the

Delayed eruption of permanent dentition and maxillary contraction in patients with cleidocranial dysplasia: review and report of a family [PDF]
Introduction. Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the RUNX2 gene on chromosome 6p21. This pathology, autosomal dominant or caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation, is present in one in one million individuals ...

Skeletal mineralization: mechanisms and diseases [PDF]
Skeletal mineralization is initiated in matrix vesicles (MVs), the small extracellular vesicles derived from osteoblasts and chondrocytes. Calcium and inorganic phosphate (Pi) taken up by MVs form hydroxyapatite crystals, which propagate on collagen ...

Alkaline Phosphatase and Hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) results from ALPL mutations leading to deficient activity of the tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase isozyme (TNAP) and thereby extracellular accumulation of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a natural substrate of TNAP and potent inhibitor of mineralization.

Modern Approaches to the Management of Children with Hypophosphatasia
Hypophosphatasia is rare genetic disease caused by tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase deficiency due to the mutation in the ALPL gene. Disease can manifest in utero, in childhood or in adults depending on its form and severity. This article presents

Asfotase alfa is a human recombinant enzyme replacement therapy for hypophosphatasia. We describe 6 adults who were treated with asfotase alfa for 61–68 months in a clinical trial (NCT01163149), after which asfotase alfa was discontinued for 15–48 months.

ABSTRACT Objective Monogenic disorders (MDs), often associated with developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, or dysmorphic facial features, typically go undetected during pregnancy. These disorders are frequently caused by de novo single nucleotide variants (SNVs), which are not currently covered by routine non‐invasive prenatal testing

A rare mutation in hypophosphatasia: a case report of adult form and review of the literature
SUMMARY Hypophosphatasia is a rare inborn error of metabolism characterized by low serum alkaline phosphatase activity due to loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Extracellular
