Given the loose genotype/phenotype correlation in HPP seen in our cohort, clinical context is crucial for the interpretation of genetic test results to guide clinical care in this population. Otherwise, over- or under-diagnosis may occur, resulting in misidentification of those who may benefit from additional screening and perhaps pharmacologic intervention.
