Abstract excerpt
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a genetic disease characterized by defective calcification of hard tissues such as bone and teeth accompanying deficiency of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. Its development results from various mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue-nonspecific ALP (TNSALP). HPP is known to be transmitted in an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant manner. A point mutation (c.323C>T)...
