These mutations increase fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) activity, resulting in renal phosphate wasting and defective bone mineralization.

A Diagnostic Dilemma: Hypophosphatemic Rickets Unmasking Tyrosinemia Type 1: A Case Report
ABSTRACT A 7.5‐year‐old Pakistani girl was misdiagnosed with hypophosphatemic rickets. Progressive skeletal deformities, hepatomegaly, and renal tubular dysfunction were detected despite standard treatment. Due to the atypical findings, genetic testing was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of Hereditary tyrosinemia Type 1.
