Introduction: X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) is a dominant inherited disease caused by isolated renal phosphate wasting and impairment of vitamin D activation. We present a girl with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) as a consequence of de novo mutation in the PHEX gene.
Case Outline: A 2.
Introduction: Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is an autosomal dominant osteochondrodysplasia due to mutations in the gene encoding cartilage oligomeric matrix protein. It is characterized by rhizomelic dwarfism, limb and vertebral deformity, joint laxity and early onset osteoarthrosis. We present the girl with the early expressed and severe PSACH born to clinically and radiographically unaffected parents.

Methods: All patients who underwent renal biopsy at our hospital between 2001 and 2010 were included in the present study. Renal biopsy was performed under fluoroscopy with a biopsy gun.
Article Synopsis
- * A 15-year-old boy experienced biliary calculosis and non-conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, with a history of mild bilirubin elevation and gallstones related to hereditary ellyptocytosis and Gilbert's syndrome.
- * The study concludes that Gilbert's syndrome can significantly contribute to biliary stones in children with chronic mild hemolytic conditions, suggesting that these associations should be considered in similar cases.
Objective: To present outcomes of a minimally invasive inguinal technique for the separation of the distal part of ureters in duplex systems and for the extravesical ureteroneocystostomy of only the pathologically involved ureter.
Materials And Methods: From November 2001 to February 2007, we performed extravesical reimplantation of only the involved ureter in 21 duplex systems, of which 14 were refluxing (megaureters) and seven had obstruction of the ureterovesical junction. The mean (range) age of the patients was 39 (17-59) months.
