Description: Hypophosphatasia is a rare disorder, genetically transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern, and is characterized by defective skeletal mineralization resembling that of rickets and osteomalacia. It results in abnormal mineralization of bone, low serum alkaline phosphatase levels (only bone and liver isoenzymes) and abnormal levels of phosphorylethanolamine in the urine and blood.
