Background  Genetic Hypophosphatemic Rickets (HR) is a group of diseases characterized by renal phosphate wasting with inappropriately low or normal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3  (1,25(OH) 2 D) serum levels. The most common form of HR is X-linked dominant HR (XLHR) which is caused by inactivating mutations in the  PHEX  gene. The purpose of this study was to perform genetic diagnosis in a cohort of patients with clinical diagnosis of HR, to perform genotype-phenotype correlations of those patients and to compare our data with other HR cohort studies.    Methods  Forty three affected individuals from 36 non related families were analyzed. For the genetic analysis, the  PHEX  gene was sequenced in all of the patients and in 13 cases the study was complemented by mRNA sequencing and Multiple Ligation Probe Assay. For the genotype-phenotype correlation study, the clinical and biochemical phenotype of the patients was compared with the type of mutation, which was grouped into clearly deleterious or likely causative, using the Mann-Whitney and Fisher's exact test.    Results  Mutations in the  PHEX  gene were identified in all the patients thus confirming an XLHR. Thirty four different mutations were found distributed throughout the gene with higher density at the 3' end. The majority of the mutations were novel (69.4%), most of them resulted in a truncated PHEX protein (83.3%) and were family specific (88.9%). Tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) and 1,25(OH) 2 D serum levels were significantly lower in patients carrying clearly deleterious mutations than in patients carrying likely causative ones (61.39 ± 19.76 vs. 80.14 ± 8.80%, p = 0.028 and 40.93 ± 30.73 vs. 78.46 ± 36.27 pg/ml, p = 0.013).    Conclusions   PHEX  gene mutations were found in all the HR cases analyzed, which was in contrast with other cohort studies. Patients with clearly deleterious  PHEX  mutations had lower TRP and 1,25(OH) 2 D levels suggesting that the  PHEX  type of mutation might predict the XLHR phenotype severity.
