  1. What are the causes of hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia with normal
    FGF- 23?
    The causes of hypophosphatemic rickets–osteomalacia with normal FGF-23
    levels are hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria,
    Fanconi’s syndrome, and tumor-induced osteomalacia associated with
    secreted frizzled related protein 4, FGF7, and matrix extracellular phospho-
    glycoprotein (MEPE).
