On this episode of CoRDS Cast, Alyssa and Polly sit down with Deborah Fowler who is the President and Founder of Soft Bones, Inc. Hypophosphatasia or HPP is a metabolic bone condition that most often affects the development of bones and teeth. The signs and symptoms vary widely, with mild cases causing only dental abnormalities while the more severe types have life-threatening consequences. The hallmark of the disorder is bones that become soft or weakened, causing skeletal deformities, fractures, premature tooth loss and pain. Deborah’s son was diagnosed with Hypophosphatasia at 18 months old and she is a strong advocate for this rare condition.
