Ectopic Calcification and Hypophosphatemic Rickets: Natural History of ENPP1 and ABCC6 Deficiencies
Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is a rare disorder caused by ENPP1 or ABCC6 variants. GACI is characterized by low pyrophosphate, arterial calcification, and high mortality during the first year of life, but the natural course and ...

Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria
An autosomal recessive form of hypophosphatemic rickets caused by inactivating mutation(s) in the SLC34A3 gene, encoding sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2C, a protein involved in maintenance of inorganic phosphate concentration in the kidney.

BACKGROUND Nutritional rickets is believed to result from the interaction of inadequate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration and dietary calcium intake, but this interaction has not been confirmed in children with rickets.

Diagnosis and Management of Vitamin D Dependent Rickets
The term “vitamin D dependent rickets” describes a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by early-onset rickets due to the inability to maintain adequate concentrations of active forms of vitamin D or a failure to respond fully to activated ...

What's your call? When enlargement of this boy's costochondral junctions was noted incidentally on a chest radiograph, additional skeletal images were ordered. They revealed widening, fraying, cupping and irregularity of the metaphyseal border of his distal radius and ulna (Fig. 1), with osteomalacia of his long bones. Fig.

A novel pathogenic mutation of the CYP27B1 gene in a patient with vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1: a case report [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rickets can occur due to Vitamin D deficiency or defects in its metabolism. Three rare genetic types of rickets with different alterations of genes have been reported, including: Vitamin D dependent rickets type 1, Vitamin D dependent rickets

Global Consensus Recommendations on Prevention and Management of Nutritional Rickets
Background: Vitamin D and calcium deficiencies are common worldwide, causing nutritional rickets and osteomalacia, which have a major impact on health, growth, and development of infants, children, and adolescents; the consequences can be lethal or can ...

Rickets is a bone disease associated with abnormal serum calcium and phosphate levels. The clinical presentation is heterogeneous and depends on the age of onset and pathogenesis but includes bowing deformities of the legs, short stature and widening of joints. The disorder can be caused by nutritional deficiencies or genetic defects.

Prevention of the disrupted enamel phenotype in Slc4a4-null mice using explant organ culture maintained in a living host kidney capsule. [PDF]
Slc4a4-null mice are a model of proximal renal tubular acidosis (pRTA). Slc4a4 encodes the electrogenic sodium base transporter NBCe1 that is involved in transcellular base transport and pH regulation during amelogenesis.
