ABSTRACT Nutritional therapy is critical in managing inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs), and includes specialized diets and single nutritional therapy products (sNTPs) such as vitamins, cofactors, and amino acids. Many sNTPs function as medicines, but are regulated as food (e.g., food supplements), which can limit access, reimbursement, and consistent

Cortical and Trabecular Bone Density in X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets [PDF]
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets is caused by mutations in PHEX. Even though the disease is characterized by disordered skeletal mineralization, detailed bone densitometric studies are lacking.The aim of the study was to assess volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets using forearm peripheral quantitative computed ...

Advances in FGF/FGFR Signaling: Implications for Disease and Therapy
The FGF/FGFR signaling is indispensable for the maintenance of physiological homeostasis and governs multiple biological processes, including embryonic development, bone metabolism, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis, whereas aberrant hyperactivation of this pathway drives the progression of malignancies and autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory ...

A Diagnostic Dilemma: Hypophosphatemic Rickets Unmasking Tyrosinemia Type 1: A Case Report
ABSTRACT A 7.5‐year‐old Pakistani girl was misdiagnosed with hypophosphatemic rickets. Progressive skeletal deformities, hepatomegaly, and renal tubular dysfunction were detected despite standard treatment. Due to the atypical findings, genetic testing was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of Hereditary tyrosinemia Type 1.

Microstructural Evidence for Early Childhood Stress in a Community in Transition at Hisban, Jordan
ABSTRACT Objectives Identification of stress across infancy and childhood can reflect maternal and environmental influences on early life health. In the 19th century community of Hisban, many infants died before 2 years of age with evidence of metabolic disease, including rickets, that likely ties with maternal health.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets--a report of 2 cases and review of literature
We report two cases of x-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets involving a man and his daughter. The family tree consists of 44 members with 13 of them having short stature and bowing of the lower limbs. The study of this family tree strongly suggests

LOCALISATION OF THE X-LINKED HYPOPHOSPHATAEMIC RICKETS GENE [PDF]
Cloned human X chromosome fragments identifying DNA sequence polymorphisms have been used as genetic markers in linkage studfes to localise the abnormal gene that causes X-linked hypophospbataemic rickets. These linkage studies were performed in 11 families in which the disease had occured in 3 or more generations.
