Childhood hypophosphatasia with myopathy: clinical report with recent update
Silva, I; Castelão, Walter; Mateus, M; Branco, JaimeHypophosphatasia is a rare genetic disease with low tissue nonspeficic alkaline phosphatase activity (TNSALP), due to ALPL gene mutation. There are 6 clinical forms. Childhood form is caractherized by short stature, premature loss of decidous teeth and diffuse bone pain associated with a pathological bone fracture in the past. Laboratory findings present low serum level of alkaline phosphatase and high levels o...
Rank/Rankl/opg: literature review
