- Abstract
Hypophosphatasia is a rare inherited disorder characterized by defective bone mineralization and deficiency of serum and tissue liver/bone/kidney tissue alkaline phosphatase (L/B/K ALP) activity. We report here the characterization of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene mutations in a series of 11 families affected by various forms of hypophosphatasia. Nineteen distinct mutations were found, 7 of which were previously reported. Eleven of the 12 new mutations were missense mutations (Y11C, A34V, R54H, R135H, N194D, G203V, E218G, D277Y, F310G, A382S, V406A), the last one (998-1G>T) was a mutation affecting acceptor splice site.
