Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic osteomalacia (OOM) is characterized by renal phosphate wasting and abnormal metabolism of vitamin D, somewhat similar to the phenotype of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (HYP). DNA from OOM tumor cells was analyzed for mutations in the PHEX gene, which is mutated in HYP. Screening for mutations by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and subsequent sequencing of all the exons revealed no...
