Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a type of bone disorder that causes skeletal deformities due to reduced renal phosphate reabsorption that affect bone mineralisation. Defect on PHEX, DMP1 and FGF23 causes x-linked dominant, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant HR respectively. The aim of this study was to identify the underlying genetic mutations in PHEX, DMP1 and FGF23 in a 15-year-old female who exhibits the clinica...
