Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hypophosphatasia (HOPS) is an inheritable disorder characterized by defective skeletal mineralization, deficiency of tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) activity and premature loss of deciduous teeth. The gene for TNSALP is located on chromosome 1p34-36.1 and consists of 12 exons and 11 introns. In this study we analysed the genomic TNSALP gene from a patient with HOPS, her family, and...
