Pathogenesis PHEX mutations raise FGF23 levels causing renal phosphate wasting Mutated FGF23 becomes resistant to proteolytic inactivation, increasing FGF23 levels, causing renal phosphate wasting DMP1 and ENPP1 mutations increase FGF23 levels causing renal phosphate wasting SLC34A3 mutations decrease renal phosphate reabsorption causing renal phosphate wasting Inactivating SLC34A1 and SLC9A3R1
mutations decrease renal phosphate reabsorption causing renal phosphate wasting
Chromosomal translocation breakpoint adjacent to α-Klotho results in elevated circulatory α-Klotho and FGF23 levels causing renal phosphate wasting and hyperparathyroidism

Abbreviations: ADHR, autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets; ARHR, autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; HRH, hypophosphatemic rickets with hyperparathyroidism; HHRH, hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria; NPHLOP, hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis type; TmP, tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate; XLHR, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets.

a

TmP/GFR is the ratio of tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate (TmP) to the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). 40 41 It is used to evaluate renal phosphate transport, and low values suggest renal phosphate wasting. 42
