Genetic primary hypophosphatemia
Correct Answer -Familial hypophosphatemia is a rare inherited disorder
characterized by impaired transport of phosphate and often altered
vitamin-D metabolism in the kidneys. In some people, phosphate may not
be well-absorbed in the intestines. The hypophosphatemia resulting from
these impairments can lead to a skeletal defect called osteomalacia, or a
softening of bones. Familial hypophosphatemia also results in rickets, a
childhood bone disease with characteristic bow deformities of the legs, as
well as growth plate abnormalities and progressive softening of the bone
as occurs in osteomalacia
