Abstract In 1974, a 2-year-old boy was diagnosed as having X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLH) because of severe rickets and hypophosphataemia. The vitamin D metabolite concentrations, blood and urine chemistry and renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25 OHD3)-1α-hydroxlase were measured in 1982 (about 2 weeks after withdrawal of medication). 1α-hydroxylase was 392 pg/mg tissue/20 min in the patient, which was high compared with aged-matched controls (69.7±28.5 pg/mg tissue/20 min, mean ±SD, n=7). Our present studies showed that the 1α-hydroxylase activity in the patient with XLH was elevated. Therefore, the normal or low 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) concentrations in XLH patients could be due to accelerated catabolism of 1,25-(OH)2D3 or abnormally regulated 25OHD3-1α-hydroxylase in response to hypophosphataemia, although significantly elevated above that in normal controls.
