ALPL Mutations With Dominant‐Negative Effect in Infantile Hypophosphatasia Monozygotic Twins
Background and Aims Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by ALPL gene mutations, resulting in deficient tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. We investigated genotype–phenotype correlations in a monozygotic female twin pair with infantile HPP.

Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IIH) is a rare genetic disease, also called hypersensitivity to vitamin D3. The molecular heterogeneity allows for the differentiation between the two forms; IIH type 1 caused by CYP24A1 genetic variants and IIH type 2

Pathophysiology-based treatment of idiopathic calcium kidney stones [PDF]
Idiopathic calcium oxalate (CaOx) stone-formers (ICSFs) differ from patients who make idiopathic calcium phosphate (CaP) stones (IPSFs). ICSFs, but not IPSFs, form their stones as overgrowths on interstitial apatite plaque; the amount of plaque covering ...

Urolithiasis and Osteoporosis: Clinical Relevance and Therapeutic Implications [PDF]
Several clinical and epidemiological studies revealed increased bone turnover and lower bone mass in patients with urolithiasis. Bone mass loss is particularly evident in idiopathic calcium stone formers.

The idiopathic hypercalciuria reviewed. Metabolic abnormality or disease?
Idiopathic hypercalciuria (IH) is defined as that clinical situation in which an increase in urinary calcium excretion is observed, in the absence of hypercalcemia and other known causes of hypercalciuria.

Influence of nutrition on feline calcium oxalate urolithiasis with emphasis on endogenous oxalate synthesis [PDF]
The prevalence of calcium oxalate (CaOx) uroliths detected in cats with lower urinary tract disease has shown a sharp increase over the last decades with a concomitant reciprocal decrease in the occurrence of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate ...

Phosphate in Physiological and Pathological Mineralization: Important yet Often Unheeded
Phosphate serves as a building block for physiological mineralization, and as a signaling molecule that regulates the activity of mineralizing cells. The disturbance in these processes could induce a series of pathological mineralization, with abnormal mineralization of hard tissues and ectopic mineralization of soft tissues being the most ...
