Abstract excerpt
Several genes expressed in kidney and other tissues determine phosphate homeostasis in extracellular fluid. The major form of inherited hypophosphatemia in humans involves an X-linked locus (HPDR, Xp22.31-p21.3). It has two murine homologues (Hyp and Gy) which map to closely-linked but separate loci (crossover value 0.4%-0.8%). Both murine mutations impair Na(+)-phosphate cotransport in renal brush border...
