Abstract excerpt
Familial hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare disease, which is mostly transmitted as an X-linked dominant trait, and mutations on the phosphate regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X-chromosome (PHEX) gene are responsible for the disease in most familial cases. In this study we analyzed PHEX in a large cohort of 118 pedigrees representing 56 familial cases and 62 sporadic cases. The...
