Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare bone disease characterized by short stature, bone deformities, impaired bone mineralization, and dental problems. Most commonly, hypophosphatemic rickets is caused by pathogenic variants in the X-chromosomal gene, but autosomal dominant and recessive forms also exist. We investigated a Finnish family in which the son (index, 29 yr) and mother (56 yr) had hypophosphatemia since childhood.

Background: Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is the most common cause of PAI in children. To date, numerous non-CAH causes have been identified through genetic analysis but they remain poorly characterized.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disorder that affects both primary and permanent teeth. It primarily manifests as developmental disorders of enamel. The condition occurs independently of other systemic disorders and is caused by mutations in genes responsible for enamel formation, inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked patterns.

While primary EBV infection triggers severe diseases in each, lymphomas occur at high rates with XLP-1 but not with XLP-2. Why XLP-2 patients are apparently protected from EBV-driven lymphomagenesis, in contrast to all other described congenital conditions that result in heightened susceptibility to EBV, remains a key open question.

Background: Many patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) nowadays have reached adulthood, as well as their sisters, possibly carriers of a deleterious Bruton tyrosine kinase variant. Studies on motherhood outcomes in families with XLA are lacking.
Objective: We sought to investigate adherence to carrier status screening, interest in preconception and prenatal genetic counseling, and reproductive decisions in relatives with XLA.
