Childhood hypophosphatasia

Childhood hypophosphatasia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the ALPL gene. The clinical picture includes various disturbances of bone metablism and growth. This leads to growth retardation, reduced mobility, and diffuse bone pain. The teeth show accelerated dental caries and early loss of deciduous dentition.

Management

For therapy Strensiq® (asfotase alfa) is available.
