Hypophosphatasia - aetiology, nosology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract excerpt

Hypophosphatasia is the inborn error of metabolism characterized by low serum alkaline phosphatase activity (hypophosphatasaemia). This biochemical hallmark reflects loss-of-function mutations within the gene that encodes the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP).
