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 ...

Nationwide Turkish Cohort Study of Hypophosphatemic Rickets [PDF]
Objective: Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a rare renal phosphate-wasting disorder, which is usually X-linked and is commonly caused by PHEX mutations.

Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism in X-linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets.
We report a case of tertiary hyperparathyroidism in an X-linked familial hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) patient under regular calcitriol and self-adjusted large doses of oral phosphate salt (2.4-3.6 g/day in 4-5 divided doses) according to his serum phosphate level.

Surgical management of intracranial hypertension in rickets-related craniosynostosis
Hypophosphatemic rickets is occasionally associated with craniosynostosis. Delayed diagnosis can result in intracranial hypertension, potentially leading to serious neurological complications.

X-linked vitamin D-resistant rickets: 12 years of follow-up
Rickets are abnormalities of mineralization that can lead to bone fractures and deformities. Vitamin-resistant rickets is defined as any rickets not prevented by regular, early and prolonged administration of vitamin D and not cured by a sufficient total

Rickets in Children: An Update
Rickets refers to a deficient mineralization of the growth plate cartilage, predominantly affecting longer bones. Despite the fact that preventive measures are available, it is still a common disease worldwide; nutritional rickets, due to vitamin D ...

Approach to Hypophosphatemic Rickets
Hypophosphatemic rickets typically presents in infancy or early childhood with skeletal deformities and growth plate abnormalities. The most common causes are genetic (such as X-linked hypophosphatemia), and these typically will result in lifelong ...

ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...

AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...
