OBJECTIVE: X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) caused by mutations in the PHEX gene is considered to be the most frequent cause of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-related congenital hypophosphatemic rickets. In previous studies, mutations in the PHEX gene were detected in 60-70% of patients with clinical diagnoses of XLHR. This leads to the question whether current screening methods for mutations in the...
