Abstract excerpt
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is an inheritable type of rickets caused by inactivating variants in the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene, which results in the overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). The mechanism by which PHEX impairment leads to FGF23 overproduction is unknown. Because little is known regarding the genotype-phenotype correlation in Japanese...
