Abstract excerpt
Dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP1) or phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX) inactivation results in elevation of the phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23, leading to hypophosphatemia, aberrant vitamin D metabolism, and rickets/osteomalacia. Compound mutant Phex-deficient Hyp and Dmp1(ko) mice exhibit nonadditive phenotypes, suggesting that DMP1 and...
