ABSTRACT

A 7.5‐year‐old Pakistani girl was misdiagnosed with hypophosphatemic rickets. Progressive skeletal deformities, hepatomegaly, and renal tubular dysfunction were detected despite standard treatment. Due to the atypical findings, genetic testing was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of Hereditary tyrosinemia Type 1. Her survival without liver failure remains atypical for Pakistan.
