## Abstract Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays an essential role in the regulation of tissue mineralization, and its activity is highly heritable. Guided by genetic associations discovered in a murine model, we hypothesized a role for rare coding variants in determining serum ALP level and bone miner
Objectives: To examine the diagnostic validity of bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) in serum (a marker of bone formation) and of urinary excretion of pyridinium cross-links (PYR) (a marker of bone resorption) for detection of bone metastases. Design and Methods: Two heterogeneous immunoassays were em
