Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2; a novel mutation in the ENPP1 gene
Background. Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a rare disease caused by several genetic mutations in factors that cause an increase in fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and renal phosphate transporters.

Characterization of native FGF23 protein and mutant forms causing autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets and familial tumoral calcinosis [PDF]
The regulation of phosphate metabolism is a complex process that is still only partly understood. At the end of the eighties, studies in a mouse model for hypophosphatemic rickets provided evidence that phosphate wasting could not be explained by a ...
