Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) , an autosomal recessive disorder first identified in a large Bedouin tribe, is characterized by hypophosphatemia secondary to renal inorganic phosphate (Pi) wasting, resulting in increased serum1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentrations with associated intestinal calcium hyperabsorption, hypercalciuria, rickets, and osteomalacia. Recent studies identified several mutations in the NaPi-2c/NPT2c transporter gene (SLC34A3) as the cause of HHRH. The fact that HHRH is caused by NaPi-2c loss-of-function mutations is compatible with the HHRH phenotype and the prevailing view of renal Pi regulation. The NaPi-2c mutants in HHRH show defective processing and stability.
