Abstract
Nutritional deficiency continues to be an important cause of rickets in the underdeveloped and developing parts of the world. In the western hemisphere, predominantly non-nutritional forms of rickets and osteomalacia are now seen. In this report we discuss a family with X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets from the Kashmir region of the Indian subcontinent (which is an uncommon entity here).
