- 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).
