Abstract
Sclerostin emerges as a novel target for bone anabolic therapy in bone diseases. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are rare bone diseases in which therapeutic potential of sclerostin inhibition cannot be ignored. In OI, genetic/pharmacologic sclerostin inhibition promoted bone formation of mice, but responses varied by genotype and age. Serum sclerostin levels were higher in young OI-I patients, while lower in adult OI-I/III/IV. It's worth investigating whether therapeutic response of OI to sclerostin inhibition could be clinically predicted by genotype and age. In XLH, preclinical/clinical data suggested factors other than identified FGF23 contributing to XLH. Higher levels of circulating sclerostin were detected in XLH. Sclerostin inhibition promoted bone formation in Hyp mice, while restored phosphate homeostasis in age-/gender-dependent manner. The role of sclerostin in regulating phosphate metabolism deserves investigation. Sclerostin/FGF23 levels of XLH patients with/without response to FGF23-antibody warrants study to develop precise sclerostin/FGF23 inhibition strategy or synergistic/additive strategy. Notably, OI patients were associated with cardiovascular abnormalities, so were XLH patients receiving conventional therapy. Targeting sclerostin loop3 promoted bone formation without cardiovascular risks. Further, blockade of sclerostin loop3-LRP4 interaction while preserving sclerostin loop2-ApoER2 interaction could be a potential precise sclerostin inhibition strategy for OI and XLH with cardiovascular safety. The Translational Potential of this Article. Preclinical data on the molecular understanding of sclerostin inhibition in OI and therapeutic efficacy in mouse models of different genotypes, as well as clinical data on serum sclerostin levels in patients with different phenotypes of OI, were reviewed and discussed. Translationally, it would facilitate to develop clinical prediction strategies (e.g. based on genotype and age, not just phenotype) for OI patients responsive to sclerostin inhibition. Both preclinical and clinical data suggested sclerostin as another factor contributing to XLH, in addition to the identified FGF23. The molecular understanding and therapeutic effects of sclerostin inhibition on both promoting bone anabolism and improving phosphate homostasis in Hyp mice were reviewed and discussed. Translationaly, it would facilitate the development of precise sclerostin/FGF23 inhibition strategy or synergistic/additive strategy for the treatment of XLH. Cardiovascular risk could not be ruled out during sclerostin inhibition treatment, especially for OI and XLH patients with cardiovascular diseases history and cardiovascular abnormalities. Studies on the role of sclerostin in inhiting bone formation and protecting cardiovascular system were reviewed and discussed. Translationaly, blockade of sclerostin loop3-LRP4 interaction while preserving sclerostin loop2-ApoER2 interaction could be a potential precise sclerostin inhibition strategy for OI and XLH with cardiovascular safety.

Abstract
CONTEXT X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disorder that results in increased plasma levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Several studies have demonstrated a direct association between FGF23 and cardiovascular mortality in cohorts of patients with chronic renal failure. However, in patients with XLH, studies on the cardiovascular impact of the disease are rare, with contradictory results. OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess whether the disease led to an increased cardiovascular risk. METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study on a local cohort of adult patients with XLH. The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint of the frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or presence of high blood pressure. Our secondary objectives were to assess echocardiographic, pulse wave velocity, and central blood pressure data as other markers of CV health. Independently of this cohort, tissue sodium content with magnetic resonance imaging was studied in 2 patients with XLH before and after burosumab. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were included. Median serum phosphate was 0.57 (0.47-0.72) mmol/L and FGF23 94 pg/L (58-2226). Median blood pressure was 124 (115-130)/68 (65-80) mm Hg, with only 9% of patients being hypertensive. A majority of patients (69%) had no LVH, only 1 had a left ventricular mass >100 g/m² and 25% of patients had left ventricular remodeling. Pulse wave velocity was normal in all patients. No differences in skin and muscle sodium content were observed before and after burosumab in the 2 patients who underwent sodium magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSION We found no elevated risk of developing hypertension or LVH in patients with XLH.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). As CKD progresses, CKD-specific risk factors, such as disordered mineral homeostasis, amplify traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) regulates mineral homeostasis by activating complexes of FGF receptors and transmembrane klotho co-receptors. A soluble form of klotho also acts as a 'portable' FGF23 co-receptor in tissues that do not express klotho. In progressive CKD, rising circulating FGF23 levels in combination with decreasing kidney expression of klotho results in klotho-independent effects of FGF23 on the heart that promote left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death. Emerging data suggest that soluble klotho might mitigate some of these effects via several candidate mechanisms. More research is needed to investigate FGF23 excess and klotho deficiency in specific cardiovascular complications of CKD, but the pathophysiological primacy of FGF23 excess versus klotho deficiency might never be precisely resolved, given the entangled feedback loops that they share. Therefore, randomized trials should prioritize clinical practicality over scientific certainty by targeting disordered mineral homeostasis holistically in an effort to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CKD.

Exploring the implications of blocking renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and fibroblast growth factor 23 in early left ventricular hypertrophy without chronic kidney disease. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1276664. [PMID: 38174329 PMCID: PMC10762797 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1276664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Whether fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) directly induces left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) remains controversial. Recent studies showed an association between FGF23 and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The aim of this study was to investigate changes in FGF23 levels and RAAS parameters and their influences on LVH. Methods In the first experiment, male C57BL/6J mice were divided into sham and transverse aortic constriction (TAC) groups. The TAC group underwent TAC at 8 weeks of age. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after TAC, the mice were sacrificed, and blood and urine samples were obtained. Cardiac expressions of FGF23 and RAAS-related factors were evaluated, and cardiac histological analyses were performed. In the second experiment, the sham and TAC groups were treated with vehicle, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, or FGF receptor 4 (FGFR4) inhibitor and then evaluated in the same way as in the first experiment. Results In the early stage of LVH without chronic kidney disease, serum FGF23 levels did not change but cardiac FGF23 expression significantly increased along with LVH progression. Moreover, serum aldosterone and cardiac ACE levels were significantly elevated, and cardiac ACE2 levels were significantly decreased. ACE inhibitor did not change serum FGF23 levels but significantly decreased cardiac FGF23 levels with improvements in LVH and RAAS-related factors, while FGFR4 inhibitor did not change the values. Conclusions Not serum FGF23 but cardiac FGF23 levels and RAAS parameters significantly changed in the early stage of LVH without chronic kidney disease. RAAS blockade might be more crucial than FGF23 blockade for preventing LVH progression in this condition.

X-linked hypophosphatemia, obesity and arterial hypertension: data from the XLH21 study. Pediatr Nephrol 2023; 38:697-704.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The underlying mechanisms of obesity in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are not known. We aimed to evaluate whether FGF21, an endocrine FGF involved in the regulation of carbohydrate-lipid metabolism, could be involved. METHODS We performed a prospective multicenter cross-sectional study comparing FGF23, Klotho, and FGF21 levels in teenagers with XLH compared to healthy controls (VITADOS cohort) after matching for age, gender, and puberty. Non-parametric tests were performed (results presented as median (min-max)). RESULTS A total of 40 XLH teenagers (n = 20 Standard Of Care, SOC, n = 20 burosumab) were included. While patients receiving burosumab displayed increased BMI as compared to patients receiving SOC, systolic blood pressure expressed as percentile was progressively and significantly lower when comparing the three groups: 77 (4-99) in SOC, 47 (9-98) in burosumab, and 28 (1-94) in controls (p = 0.007). When compared to patients receiving SOC, patients receiving burosumab displayed significantly increased phosphate and 1,25(OH)2D levels. We found increased Klotho levels in patients receiving burosumab. No differences were found for either carbohydrate-lipid biomarkers or FGF21 between the three groups. A total of 21 XLH patients (53%) had insulin resistance (HOMA > 2.4, N = 10 SOC, N = 11 burosumab). CONCLUSION FGF21 does not explain obesity/overweight in XLH. Of note, this study was performed in France in 2018-2019, early after the approval authorizing burosumab only in case of severe XLH despite SOC. As such, the data on systolic blood pressure highlighting a possible impact of burosumab to decrease blood pressure as well as increase Klotho levels deserve further studies given their potential effect on long-term cardiovascular risk. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a genetic disease of phosphate wasting that is characterized by defective bone mineralization. The most common cause of the disease is mutations in the phosphate regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX) gene. The aims of this study were to identify the gene variants responsible for HR in three cases of Malaysian origin from three independent families and to describe their clinical, biochemical, and radiological features. METHODS Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on all patients and their parents, followed by Sanger sequencing validation. Bioinformatics tools were used to provide supporting evidence for pathogenicity of variants. To confirm that a mutation is de novo, paternity test was carried out. High resolution melting curve analysis was performed to assess the allele frequency in normal controls for mutations that were found in the patients. RESULTS The patients showed typical characteristics of HR including lower limb deformity, hypophosphatemia, and elevated alkaline phosphatase. WES revealed two variants in the PHEX gene and one variant in the dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) gene. Two of the three variants were novel, including c.1946_1954del (p.Gly649_Arg651del) in PHEX and c.54 + 1G > A in DMP1. Our data suggests that the novel p.Gly649_Arg651del variant is likely pathogenic for HR disease. CONCLUSIONS This study extends the variant spectrum of the PHEX and DMP1 genes. Our findings indicate that WES is an advantageous approach for diagnosis of genetic diseases which are heterogeneous.

Abstract
CONTEXT X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disease caused by a primary excess of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). FGF23 has been associated with inflammation and impaired osteoclastogenesis, but these pathways have not been investigated in XLH. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to evaluate whether XLH patients display peculiar inflammatory profile and increased osteoclastic activity. METHODS We performed a prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study analyzing transcript expression of 8 inflammatory markers (Il6, Il8, Il1β, CXCL1, CCL2, CXCR3, Il1R, Il6R) by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) purified from total blood samples extracted from patients and healthy control individuals. The effect of native/active vitamin D on osteoclast formation was also assessed in vitro from XLH patients' PBMCs. RESULTS In total, 28 XLH patients (17 children, among them 6 undergoing standard of care [SOC] and 11 burosumab therapy) and 19 controls were enrolled. Expression of most inflammatory markers was significantly increased in PBMCs from XLH patients compared to controls. No differences were observed between the burosumab and SOC subgroups. Osteoclast formation was significantly impaired in XLH patients. XLH mature osteoclasts displayed higher levels of inflammatory markers, being however lower in cells derived from the burosumab subgroup (as opposed to SOC). CONCLUSION We describe for the first time a peculiar inflammatory profile in XLH. Since XLH patients have a propensity to develop arterial hypertension, obesity, and enthesopathies, and because inflammation can worsen these clinical outcomes, we hypothesize that inflammation may play a critical role in these extraskeletal complications of XLH.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disorder with X-linked dominant inheritance. Mutations in the PHEX gene increase fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) concentrations, causing loss of phosphorus at the proximal tubule. Most pediatric patients debut in the first two years with short stature and bowed legs. Conventional treatment consists of oral supplements with phosphorus and calcitriol. Since 2018, burosumab has been approved as a novel therapeutic option for XLH, with promising results. The purpose of this study was to share our experience with two cases of XLH treated with burosumab. These patients presented with a broad phenotypical differences. One had the most severe radiological phenotype and developed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular dysfunction with preserved ejection fraction. Treatment with burosumab was well-tolerated and was followed by radiological stability and a striking improvement in both blood biochemistry and quality of life. The LVH was stable and left ventricular function normalized in the patient with cardiac involvement. In recent years many studies have been carried out to explain the role of FGF23 in cardiovascular damage, but the exact pathophysiological mechanisms are as yet unclear. The most intensively studied populations are patients with XLH or chronic kidney disease, as both are associated with high levels of FGF23. To date, cardiovascular involvement in XLH has been described in patients treated with conventional treatment, so it would be of interest to investigate if early use of burosumab at the time of diagnosis of XLH would prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular manifestations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The objective of this project was to adapt to our setting following a systematic process based on the ADAPTE method the first clinical practice guidelines on X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) that were published in 2019. MATERIALS AND METHODS The adaptation of the guidelines to our application and implementation setting was carried out in three phases -start-up, adaptation, and finalization- by a group of experts involved in the management of patients with XLH. RESULTS Following the original guide, the recommendations agreed by the group that elaborated the guidelines for diagnosis, frequency and scope of visits and specific follow-up in children and adults are presented. On the other hand, recommendations are established for both age groups with conventional treatment, as well as with burosumab in children or adults and those related to the controversial use of growth hormone in children. Suggestions are also proposed regarding the monitoring and management of musculoskeletal disorders and orthopedic treatment in children, dental health and hearing, and neurosurgical complications. Finally, a series of questions and areas are raised in order to deepen the possible future investigation. CONCLUSIONS These recommendations constitute the systematic adaptation to our setting of the first evidence-based clinical practice guide for the diagnosis and management of XLH and we hope that they can contribute to the adequate management of the disease.

Pathogenic Variants of the PHEX Gene. ENDOCRINES 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/endocrines3030040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Twenty-five years ago, a pathogenic variant of the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene was identified as the cause of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). Subsequently, the overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) due to PHEX defects has been found to be associated with XLH pathophysiology. However, the mechanism by which PHEX deficiency contributes to the upregulation of FGF23 and the function of PHEX itself remain unclear. To date, over 700 pathogenic variants have been identified in patients with XLH, and functional assays and genotype–phenotype correlation analyses based on pathogenic variant data derived from XLH patients have been reported. Genetic testing for XLH is useful for the diagnosis. Not only have single-nucleotide variants causing missense, nonsense, and splicing variants and small deletion/insertion variants causing frameshift/non-frameshift alterations been observed, but also gross deletion/duplication variants causing copy number variants have been reported as pathogenic variants in PHEX. With the development of new technologies including next generation sequencing, it is expected that an increasing number of pathogenic variants will be identified. This chapter aimed to summarize the genotype of PHEX and related analyses and discusses the pathophysiology of PHEX defects to seek clues on unsolved questions.

Abstract
High circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy as well as increased morbidity and mortality in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. However, the mechanisms underlying this association are controversial. Here, we aimed to further characterize the cardiovascular sequelae of long term endogenous FGF23 hypersecretion using 14-month-old male Hyp mice as a model of FGF23 excess. Hyp mice were characterized by a ~10-fold increase in circulating intact FGF23, hypophosphatemia, increased serum aldosterone, but normal kidney function, relative to wildtype (WT) controls. Cardiovascular phenotyping did not reveal any evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy or functional impairment in 14-month-old Hyp mice. Fractional shortening, ejection fraction, molecular markers of hypertrophy (Anp, Bnp), and intracardiac markers of contractility and diastolic function were all unchanged in these animals. However, intraarterial catheterization revealed an increase in systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure of ~12 mm Hg in aged Hyp mice relative to WT controls. Hypertension in Hyp mice was associated with increased peripheral vascular resistance. To test the hypothesis that a stimulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) contributes to hypertension in aged Hyp mice, we administered the angiotensin receptor blocker losartan (30 mg/kg twice daily) or the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist canrenone (30 mg/kg once daily) to aged Hyp and WT mice over 5 days. Both drugs had minor effects on blood pressure in WT mice, but reduced blood pressure and peripheral vascular resistance in Hyp mice, suggesting that a stimulation of the RAAS contributes to hypertension in aged Hyp mice.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a genetic disease mostly related to PHEX gene mutations which increases FGF23 serum levels, leading to hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia in adults, while affected children, in addition, develop rickets. Most of adults with XLH suffer from reduced quality of life and physical disability due to chronic bone and joint pain related to limb deformities, early osteoarthritis, delayed-healing of insufficiency fractures, and enthesopathies. Dental infections, muscle dysfunction, and deafness are also frequent. The current treatment consists of 2-5 times daily oral administration of phosphate combined to active vitamin D, often badly tolerated with immediate digestive side effects, responsible for poor compliance. In the long term, it may induce nephrocalcinosis and hyperparathyroidism. Burosumab, an anti-FGF23 blocking antibody, was approved for treating children with XLH in many countries. A randomized 24-week-long placebo-controlled trial, followed by an open-label period of equal duration was conducted in 134 XLH adults treated with 1 mg/kg burosumab/4 weeks. During burosumab treatment, 94% of the patients normalized serum phosphate values versus 7% in the placebo group. Fracture healing was increased 16.7 times compared with placebo-treated patients. All pain and disability tests improved significantly in a time-dependent manner. Burosumab for 48 weeks improved histological lesions of osteomalacia in a single-arm longitudinal study analyzing paired bone biopsies. Another single-arm, open-label study investigated the long-term safety and efficacy of burosumab in 20 adult patients followed for 3.2 years. Burosumab was beneficial on pain and disability scores and on bone remodeling markers. No major side effects especially no hyperphosphatemic episodes were reported. Overall, the benefit/risk ratio of burosumab is positive in adult patients with clinical and/or biological complications of XLH. Burosumab corrects hypophosphatemia, promotes fracture healing, and induces a modest but significant effect on XLH-induced subjective pain and disability symptoms. Plain language title and summary Effects of conventional treatment and burosumab in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia.X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a disease of genetic origin that affects mineralized tissues (skeleton and teeth) and impairs muscle function. It induces a decrease in blood phosphate levels. This leads to under mineralization of bones and insufficiency fractures that heal slowly, associated with poor dental health characterized by spontaneous dental abscesses. Adults with XLH suffer from chronic pain and limb deformities that alter their quality of life. They are currently treated with daily administration of vitamin D and several daily doses of phosphate. This treatment may induce parathyroid gland dysfunction and mineral deposits in the kidney. If not tightly monitored, these side effects may lead to tertiary hyperparathyroidism and the need for parathyroid gland surgery, or to nephrocalcinosis which may proceed to chronic kidney disease. Burosumab is an antibody that blocks the action of FGF23 the factor that circulates in excess in blood and is responsible for phosphate renal leak in XLH. Three studies demonstrated that burosumab, injected every 4 weeks, is efficient and safe for treating adults with XLH.

Abstract
Dietary habits in the western world lead to increasing phosphate intake. Under physiological conditions, extraosseous precipitation of phosphate with calcium is prevented by a mineral buffering system composed of calcification inhibitors and tight control of serum phosphate levels. The coordinated hormonal regulation of serum phosphate involves fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), αKlotho, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol. A severe derangement of phosphate homeostasis is observed in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a patient collective with extremely high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Higher phosphate levels in serum have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in CKD patients, but also in the general population. The causal connections between phosphate and CVD are currently incompletely understood. An assumed link between phosphate and cardiovascular risk is the development of medial vascular calcification, a process actively promoted and regulated by a complex mechanistic interplay involving activation of pro-inflammatory signalling. Emerging evidence indicates a link between disturbances in phosphate homeostasis and inflammation. The present review focuses on critical interactions of phosphate homeostasis, inflammation, vascular calcification and CVD. Especially, pro-inflammatory responses mediating hyperphosphatemia-related development of vascular calcification as well as FGF23 as a critical factor in the interplay between inflammation and cardiovascular alterations, beyond its phosphaturic effects, are addressed.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) appears to be one of the most promising biomarkers and predictors of cardiovascular risk in patients with heart disease and normal kidney function, but moreover in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review summarizes the current knowledge of FGF23 mechanisms of action in the myocardium in the physiological and pathophysiological state of CKD, as well as its cross-talk to other important signaling pathways in cardiomyocytes. In this regard, current therapeutic possibilities and future perspectives are also discussed.

Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are increasingly recognized in pediatric patients and represent risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality later in life. In CKD, enhanced tubular sodium reabsorption is a leading cause of HTN due to augmented extracellular fluid volume expansion. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) upregulates various tubular sodium cotransporters that are also targets of the hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and its co-receptor Klotho. FGF23 inhibits the activation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D that is a potent suppressor of renin biosynthesis. Here we review the complex interactions and disturbances of the FGF23-Klotho axis, vitamin D, and the RAAS relevant to blood pressure regulation and discuss the therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating their pathophysiologic contributions to HTN.

Abstract
The bone-derived hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) acts in concert with parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the active vitamin D metabolite calcitriol in the regulation of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) homeostasis. More factors are being identified to regulate FGF23 levels and the endocrine loops between the three hormones. The present review summarizes the complex regulation of FGF23 and the disturbed FGF23/Klotho system in chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition to the reduced ability of the injured kidney to regulate plasma levels of FGF23, several CKD-related factors have been shown to stimulate FGF23 production. The high circulating FGF23 levels have detrimental effects on erythropoiesis, the cardio-vascular system and the immune system, all contributing to the disturbed system biology in CKD. Moreover, new factors secreted by the injured kidney and the uremic calcified vasculature play a role in the mineral and bone disorder in CKD and create a vicious pathological crosstalk.

Abstract
Purpose of review Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition associated with bone disease and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) excess that contributes to cardiovascular mortality. Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is an established regulator of bone mineralization and FGF23 production in osteocytes. To date, DMP1 function has mainly been studied in the context of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets diseases. This review describes the role of DMP1 as a potential strong candidate to prevent bone disorders, FGF23 elevation and associated cardiac outcomes in CKD. Recent findings Patients and mice with CKD show impaired osteocyte maturation and impaired regulation of DMP1 and FGF23 in bone. New data suggest that impaired DMP1 production contributes to CKD-associated bone and mineral metabolism disorders and we show that DMP1 repletion improves osteocyte alterations, bone mineralization and partially prevents FGF23 elevation. As a result, mice with CKD show attenuated left ventricular hypertrophy and improved survival. Summary There is an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies to improve bone quality and to lower FGF23 levels in CKD. By preventing osteocyte apoptosis and inhibiting Fgf23 transcription, DMP1 supplementation may represent an ideal approach to improve CKD-associated bone and cardiac outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Capturing the patient experience of living with a rare disease such as X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is critical for a holistic understanding of the burden of a disease. The complexity of the disease coupled with the limited population makes elicitation of the patient burden methodologically challenging. This study used qualitative information direct from patient and caregiver statements to assess the burden of XLH. Methods A thematic analysis was conducted on statements received during a National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) online public open consultation from 15 June to 6 July 2018. Researchers and clinical experts generated themes and codes based on expected aspects of XLH burden. Statements were independently coded by two reviewers, adding additional codes as required, and analysed by frequency and co-reporting across age groups. Results The majority of responses were submitted from UK-based patients with some from the USA and Australia, and the statements related to children, adolescents and adults. The findings suggest that the greatest burden experienced by children is associated with conventional therapy, co-reported with dosing regimen, adherence, distress and pain. During adolescence, the burden becomes increasingly complex and multi-factorial, with an increasing psychological burden. In adults, conventional therapy co-reported with bone deformity and orthopaedic surgery, as well as pain, mobility, fatigue and dental problems, featured highly. Discussion Whilst our study was opportunistic in nature, it has highlighted the clear and distinctive evolution of the burden of XLH, transitioning from being therapy-oriented in childhood to multi-factorial in adolescence, and finally to adulthood with its high impact on need for other interventions, function and mobility. This qualitative thematic analysis enhances the understanding of the symptom and treatment burden of XLH.
