Pathways of renal phosphate wasting in hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets and tumor-induced osteomalacia
Pathways of renal phosphate wasting in hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets and tumor-induced osteomalacia
Levels of FGF23 are increased by inactivating mutations in PHEX (as in XLH) or DMP1 (as in ARHR), by activating mutations in FGF23 (as in ADHR), or by tumor production of FGF23 (as in TIO). Each of these disorders leads to excessive activity of FGF23, which suppresses the Na/Pi cotransporter and causes renal phosphate-wasting. In HHRH, the renal phosphate-wasting is caused by a mutation in the Na/Pi cotransporter itself.
