Abstract excerpt
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by defective bone and/or dental mineralization, and decreased serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. ALPL, the only gene related with HPP, encodes tissue non-specific ALP (TNSALP). Few studies were carried out in ALPL gene mutations in the Chinese population with HPP. The purpose of the present study is to elucidate the clinical and genetic...
