Abstract

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inborn, metabolic bone disorder caused by mutations in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase-encoding gene: ALPL. The diagnosis is based on biochemical, clinical and genetic evaluation. Low levels of alkaline phosphatase is a hallmark in diagnosing HPP. Mild forms may present unspecific symptoms and be more frequent than previously assumed. Adults with HPP may present with low bone mass, however, bisphosphonates are contra-indicated for these patients. Finally, enzyme replacement therapy has opened new therapeutic perspectives regarding severe HPP.
