Three Novel Mutations in the PHEX Gene in Chinese Subjects with Hypophosphatemic Rickets Extends Genotypic Variability [PDF]
Mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked, gene (PHEX), which encodes a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that is involved in bone mineralization and renal phosphate reabsorption, cause the most common form of hypophosphatemic rickets, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH).

A vast stem-progenitor cell pool, richly vascular system, and hybrid ossification drive the daily centimeter-scale elongation of bony antlers. [PDF]
Bone growth and regeneration remain major clinical challenges. Deer antlers, the fastest‐growing mammalian bone, regenerate via endochondral ossification and elongate up to 2 cm per day, far surpassing the ~2 cm annual growth of human growth plates. Here, we systematically mapped the cellular landscape of the antler growth center (AGC) using single ...

Disease-causing missense mutations in the PHEX gene interfere with membrane targeting of the recombinant protein [PDF]
PHEX is homologous to the M13 zinc metallopeptidases, a class of type II membrane glycoproteins. Although more than 140 mutations in the PHEX gene have been identified in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), the most prevalent form of inherited rickets, the molecular consequences of disease-causing PHEX mutations have not yet been ...

Mutational Analysis and Genotype-Phenotype Correlation of the PHEX Gene in X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets [PDF]
PHEX is the gene defective in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. In this study, analysis of PHEX revealed mutations in 22 hypophosphatemic rickets patients, including 16 of 28 patients in whom all 22 PHEX exons were studied. In 13 patients, in whom no PHEX mutation had been previously detected in 17 exons, the remaining 5 PHEX exons were analyzed and ...

INTRODUCTION: X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLHR) is the most common form of hypophosphataemic rickets (HR), which is caused by mutations in the PHEX gene.

Background Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a genetic disease of phosphate wasting that is characterized by defective bone mineralization. The most common cause of the disease is mutations in the phosphate regulating gene with homologies to ...

Refractory rickets: A case of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (PHEX gene variation) [PDF]
Hypophosphatemic rickets is a type of hereditary rickets distinguished by both hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia. X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is the most prevalent type of heritable hypophosphatemic rickets. We describe a 3-year-old child whose phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene variation resulted in lower ...

Abstract Background: CYP24A1 and PHEX gene mutations are rare and can cause hypercalcemia, hypervitaminosis D and elevated FGF23 levels. Fluconazole, an antifungal medication, has shown therapeutic benefit in achieving normocalcemia plus normalisation of vitamin D levels in this case report.
