X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, genetic, progressive, lifelong disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX) gene, resulting in excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and consequent renal phosphate wasting. This evidence concerns the gene FGF23 and X-linked hypophosphatemia.
