Abstract
Hypophosphatasia is a rare hereditary disease caused by a deficiency of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, leading to impaired mineralization of bones and teeth. The article presents a clinical case of a child with an infantile form of hypophosphatasia, manifested by delayed motor development, deformation of the lower extremities and premature loss of teeth. The diagnosis was confirmed by a molecular genetic study that revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the ALPL gene. Enzyme replacement therapy with asfotase alpha was prescribed, against the background of which positive dynamics were noted.
