[The pathophysiological defect in XLH is speculated to cause an increase in a circulating phosphate regulating hormone termed phosphatonin (fibroblast growth factor 23 is the primary phosphatonin candidate), which leads to inhibition of 1alpha-hydroxylase, and simultaneously to inhibition of the sodium-phosphate transporter domain NPT2c leading to parathyroid hormone-independent phosphaturia.].
