            TERMINOLOGY

            • Definitions

              • Rare inherited disorder of bone metabolism resulting in loss of function of gene ALPL coding for tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP)
              • 3 subtypes
                • Perinatal lethal
                  • Micromelia and severe hypomineralization
                • Infantile
                  • Rickets-like skeletal changes, fractures, premature shedding of teeth
                • Late onset (adult form)
                  • Often limited to biochemical findings
                  • Bowing, pseudofractures, ectopic calcifications in spinal ligaments and joint cartilage, rachitic changes in ribs
