Background: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is characterized by defective mineralization of bone and/or teeth in the presence of low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and caused by mutations in the ALPL gene encoding tissue-nonspecific ALP. Odontohypophosphatasia (odonto HPP) is the mildest form of hypophosphatasia and characterized by dental complications without abnormalities of the skeleton system.Objectives: We aimed to investigate biochemical and gen...
