Two novel variants of the PHEX gene in patients with X‑linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets and prenatal diagnosis for fetuses in these families.

Abstract excerpt

X‑linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR; OMIM 307800) is an X‑linked dominant disorder caused by mutations in the phosphate‑regulating neutral endopeptidase homolog X‑linked (PHEX) gene, which is located at Xp22.11. In the present study, two novel variants of the PHEX gene were identified in two unrelated families with XLHR by directly sequencing all 22 exon regions and intron/exon boundaries of the PHEX gene....
