BD, history of rickets and a previously measured elevated C-terminal FGF23 (C-FGF23) concentration; LC+, local controls with a previously measured high C-FGF23 concentration; and LC−, local controls with a previously measured normal C-FGF23 concentration. All measurements were conducted on the entire dataset (n=64), with the exception of 25OHD half-life (25OHD-t1/2), which was conducted on a subset (BD: n=12, LC+: n=12, and LC−: (n=13)). For normally distributed data, the results are mean (s.d.); for positively skewed data (denoted by *), the results are geometric mean (−1s.d., +s.d.). The ANOVA P value is age- and sex-adjusted with the exception of the sex variable, which is a χ2 P value. Significant differences between the groups as determined by two-sample Student's t-tests are denoted by a superscript, i.e. a= significantly different from BD, b=significantly different from LC+, and c=significantly different from LC−.
