Role of Local Growth Plate Mechanisms and Systemic Endocrine Signals in X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) Impaired Linear Growth
Background/Objectives: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), the most frequent heritable cause of hypophosphatemic rickets, is characterized by impaired linear growth and skeletal deformities, that can lead to disproportionate short stature. Linear growth depends on the coordinated regulation of systemic endocrine signals a...
