Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a bone-derived hormone, participates in the hormonal bone-parathyroid-kidney axis, which is modulated by PTH, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, plasma phosphate (Pi), and diet. Inappropriately high serum FGF23, seen in certain genetic and acquired disorders, results in urinary phosphate wasting and impaired bone mineralization. This study investigated the impact of FGF23 gene variation...
