Hypophosphatasia (HOPS) is a heritable disorder characterized by defective skeletal mineralization, deficiency of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) activity and premature loss of deciduous teeth. In a previous study, we detected missense mutations in the TNSALP gene of a patient who inherited the F310L and the V365I mutation with severe periodontitis and childhood HOPS. Expression of the mutant...
