Classified as a rare disease (RD) (1:20,000), X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) corresponds to the most prevalent form of hereditary rickets in humans, representing approximately 80% of familial rickets cases. XLH patients present severe defects in phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D metabolism, growth retardation, osteomalacia, bone abnormalities, severe bone pain, spontaneous dental absc…
The PHEX gene (phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidase on the X chromosome) was initialIy identified as the gene mutated in patients with a prevalent form (1:20,000) of human hereditary rickets called X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (X -linked hypophosphataemia - XLH) and resuIts in a membrane metallopeptidase with high homology to the eprilysin (NEP). The XLH is characterize…
The PHEX gene (phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidase on the X chromosome) was identified in 1995 as the mutated gene in patients with a prevalent form (1: 20.000) of hereditary human ricket, called XLH (X-linked hypophosphataemia ). The XLH is characterized by defects in the reabsorption of phosphate and vitamin D metabolism, and disorders such as rickets, osteomalaci…
