Hypophosphataemic rickets, also known as vitamin D resistant rickets, is a group of genetic disorders characterized by defective reabsorption of inorganic phosphorus by the renal tubules resulting in hypophosphatemia and rickets associated with mineralization defect. Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) regulates phosphate reabsorption in the kidney and therefore plays an essential role in phosphate balance in humans. There is a host of defects that ultimately lead to excess FGF23 levels and thereby cause renal phosphate wasting and hypophosphatemic rickets.

H00214 Hypophosphatemic rickets
Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets (ARHR) is a rare form of hypophosphatemic rickets that is caused by mutations in the DMP1 gene. DMP1 is highly expressed in mineralized tissues, especially in osteoblasts and osteocytes, and is a key regulatory protein that is required for the normal growth and development of bone, cartilage and dentin. Recently, ARHR associated with a mutation in the ENPP1 gene has also been reported.
