    Mutations in the ALPL gene lead to varying low activity of the enzyme tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) resulting in hypophosphatasia (HPP). [19] There are different clinical forms of HPP which can be inherited by an autosomal recessive trait or autosomal dominant trait, [ 16 ] the former causing more severe forms of the disease.
