Abstract excerpt
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by the decreased activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP), caused by mutations in the ALPL gene. The aim of this study was to conduct differential diagnostics in HPP patients using whole-exome sequencing (WES). The medical records of HPP patients and the genetic testing of the ALPL gene were reviewed. Seven patients were...
