Abstract excerpt
X-linked hypophosphatemic (Hyp) rickets is characterized by short stature, rickets, and bone abnormalities. Biochemically, hypophosphatemia and decreased renal reabsorption of phosphate are the hallmark of the disorder. Mutation of the PEX gene has been linked to human and murine Hyp rickets. Our study showed that phenotypical changes of this disease could be detected in 6-wk-old mice, but not in 2-wk-old mice....
