Core Tip Non-nutritional rickets represent a heterogeneous group of disorders. Presentation before 6 months or after 2 years of age, stigmata of specific systemic illnesses, and lack of response to oral calcium and vitamin D should raise clinical suspicion. A systematic diagnostic algorithm can guide evaluation. Parathyroid hormone may serve as a useful initial biochemical discriminator between calciopenic and hypophosphatemic rickets. Fibroblast growth factor 23 assays help distinguish fibroblast growth factor 23-dependent and independent hypophosphatemic rickets subtypes. Levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D help sub-classify heritable forms of calciopenic rickets. Several entities require molecular techniques for diagnostic confirmation, enabling precision medicine and genetic counselling.
