Emerging Therapies for Rare Genetic Disorders
X-linked hypophosphatemia, the most common heritable form of rickets, is caused due to loss-of-function mutations in the PHEX gene. It is characterized by increased secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) which leads to renal phosphate wasting, hypophosphatemia, rickets and osteomalacia, stunted growth, skeletal deformity, pain and limitation of daily activities.
