CONTEXT: Mutations in ANKH cause the highly divergent conditions familial chondrocalcinosis and craniometaphyseal dysplasia. The gene product ANK is supposed to regulate tissue mineralization by transporting pyrophosphate to the extracellular space ...

Genomic Organization of the Human PEX Gene Mutated in X-Linked Dominant Hypophosphatemic Rickets
X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (HYP) is the most common form of hereditary rickets. Recently we have cloned thePEX gene and shown it to be mutated and deleted in HYP individuals.

Phosphate homeostasis and genetic mutations of familial hypophosphatemic rickets
Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a syndrome of hypophosphatemia and rickets that resembles vitamin D deficiency, which is caused by malfunction of renal tubules in phosphate reabsorption. Phosphate is an essential mineral, which is important for bone and

A deep intronic PHEX variant associated with X-linked hypophosphatemia in a Finnish family
Abstract Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare bone disease characterized by short stature, bone deformities, impaired bone mineralization, and dental problems. Most commonly, hypophosphatemic rickets is caused by pathogenic variants in the X-chromosomal PHEX gene, but autosomal dominant and recessive forms also exist.

The Burden of Adult X-Linked Hypophosphatemia on Carers and Family Members: A Mixed-Methods Study
Introduction X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, genetic disorder that severely impacts the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of people living with the condition. This impact can also extend to carers and family members, described as a “spillover effect.” Measurement of spillover effects can lead to ...
