X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLHR) is the most common form of hypophosphataemic rickets (HR), which is caused by mutations in the PHEX gene. The aim of this work was to investigate the clinical phenotype, therapeutic strategies, and molecular background of HR in children hospitalised in our clinic.
