Both Dmp1-null mice and individuals with a newly identified disorder, autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets, manifest rickets and osteomalacia with isolated renal phosphate-wasting associated with elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels and normocalciuria.
Thus, we conclude that the hypophosphatemia induced osteomalacia phenotype in Dmp1 KO mice is contributed by at least two factors: the low Pi level and the DMP1 local function in mineralization.
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia (XLH), autosomal dominant and recessive hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia (ADHR and ARHR) share common clinical features including high fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels.
