Abstract excerpt
Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by poor bone mineralization and deficiency of alkaline phosphatase activity. It is caused by mutations in the liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase gene encoding the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), which displays many allelic heterogeneities, leading to different clinical phenotypes. This study reports the case of a patient...
