Abstract excerpt
A Chinese family was identified to have two patients with rickets, an adult female and a male child (proband), both exhibiting signs related to X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). Gene sequencing analysis revealed a deletion of adenine at position 1985 (c.1985delA) in the PHEX-encoding gene. To investigate the relationship between this mutation and the pathogenicity of XLH, as well as analyze the effects of...
