(hī'pĕr-fos'fă-tā'zē-ă), [MIM*239000 and MIM*239300] A skeletal dysplasia characterized by dwarfism, macrocranium, expansion of the diaphyses of tubular bones with multiple fractures, patchy osteosclerosis, leg bowing, and occasionally mental retardation; serum alkaline phosphatase level is elevated; autosomal recessive inheritance.
