The structural pathology for hypophosphatasia caused by malfunctional tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase
Abstract Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a metabolic bone disease that manifests as developmental abnormalities in bone and dental tissues. HPP patients exhibit hypo-mineralization and osteopenia due to the deficiency or malfunction of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), which catalyzes the h...
