Identification of six novel variants from nine Chinese families with hypophosphatemic rickets

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2022
Background Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a rare genetic disorder associated with renal phosphate wasting and characterized by bone defects. Inactivating mutations in the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X‑linked gene (PHEX) account for most ...

X-Linked Hypophosphatemia Attributable to Pseudoexons of the PHEX Gene [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2001
X-linked hypophosphatemia is commonly caused by mutations of the coding region of PHEX (phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome). However, such PHEX mutations are not detected in approximately one third of X-linked hypophosphatemia patients who may harbor defects in the noncoding or intronic regions.

A genetic study of a Brazilian cohort of patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia reveals no correlation between genotype and phenotype

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
AimX-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common inherited form of rickets, and it is caused by pathogenic inactivating variants of the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene.

A Genetic Murine Model of Endolymphatic Hydrops: The Phex Mouse [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Otorhinolaryngology Reports, 2014
Animal models of endolymphatic hydrops (ELH) provide critical insight into the pathophysiology of Meniere's disease (MD). A new genetic murine model, called the Phex mouse, circumvents prior need for a time and cost-intensive surgical procedure to create ELH.

A Novel Gene Mutation in a Patient with Sporadic Hypophosphatemic Rickets [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology and Metabolism, 2014
Phosphate regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X-chromosome (PHEX) is a common cause of X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets. Diverse PHEX gene mutations have been reported; however, gene mutations in sporadic rickets are less ...

Immunolocalization of Enzymes/Membrane Transporters Related to Bone Mineralization in the Metaphyses of the Long Bones of Parathyroid-Hormone-Administered Mice

open access: yesMedicina, 2023
The present study aimed to demonstrate the immunolocalization and/or gene expressions of the enzymes and membrane transporters involved in bone mineralization after the intermittent administration of parathyroid hormone (PTH).

Intragenic duplication of PHEX in a girl with X-linked hypophosphatemia: a case report with review of literature

open access: yesEndocrine Journal
Over 70 intragenic copy-number variations (CNVs) of PHEX have been identified in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). However, the underlying mechanism of these CNVs has been poorly investigated.

De Novo Large Deletions in the PHEX Gene Caused X-Linked Hypophosphataemic Rickets in Two Italian Female Infants Successfully Treated with Burosumab

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
Pathogenic variants in the PHEX gene cause rare and severe X-linked dominant hypophosphataemia (XLH), a form of heritable hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) characterized by renal phosphate wasting and elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels ...

The chicken or the egg: PHEX, FGF23 and SIBLINGs unscrambled [PDF]

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Function, 2012
The eggshell is an ancient innovation that helped the vertebrates' transition from the oceans and gain dominion over the land. Coincident with this conquest, several new eggshell and noncollagenous bone‐matrix proteins (NCPs) emerged. The protein ovocleidin‐116 is one of these proteins with an ancestry stretching back to the Triassic. Ovocleidin‐116 is
