Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare inherited phosphate-wasting disorder associated with bone and dental complications. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is reduced in XLH patients on conventional treatment with phosphate supplements and active vitamin D, while information on patients treated with burosumab is rare. METHODS HRQoL was assessed in 63 pediatric XLH patients participating in a prospective, observational study and patient registry in Germany using the KIDSCREEN-52 survey instrument and standardized qualitative interviews. RESULTS The median age of the XLH patients was 13.2 years (interquartile range 10.6 - 14.6). At the time of the survey, 55 (87%) patients received burosumab and 8 (13%) conventional treatment. Forty-six patients (84%) currently being treated with burosumab previously received conventional treatment. Overall, HRQoL was average compared to German reference values (mean ± SD: self-report, 53.36 ± 6.47; caregivers' proxy, 51.33 ± 7.15) and even slightly above average in some dimensions, including physical, mental, and social well-being. In general, XLH patients rated their own HRQoL higher than their caregivers. In qualitative interviews, patients and caregivers reported that, compared with conventional therapy, treatment with burosumab reduced stress, bone pain, and fatigue, improved physical health, and increased social acceptance by peers and the school environment. CONCLUSIONS In this real-world study in pediatric XLH patients, HRQoL was average or even slightly above that of the general population, likely due to the fact that the vast majority of patients had their treatment modality switched from conventional treatment to burosumab resulting in improved physical health and well-being.

Evaluation of bone density and microarchitecture in adult patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets: A pilot longitudinal study. Bone 2024; 187:117179. [PMID: 38960298 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
X-linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common type of inherited rickets. Although the clinical features are well characterized, bone structure, mineralization, and biomechanical properties are poorly known. Our aim was to analyze bone properties in the appendicular and axial skeleton of adults with XLH. In this observational case-control study, each affected patient (N = 14; 9 females; age 50 ± 15 years) was matched by sex, age and body mass index to a minimum of two healthy controls (N = 34). Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) analyses revealed that areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was higher in XLH patients at the lumbar spine (Z score mean difference = +2.47 SD, P value = 1.4 × 10-3). Trabecular Bone Score was also higher at the lumbar spine (P value = 1.0 × 10-4). High Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HRpQCT) demonstrated that bone cross-sectional area was larger at the distal radius (P value = 6 × 10-3). Total and trabecular volumetric BMD were lower at both sites. Trabecular bone volume fraction was also lower with fewer trabecular numbers at both sites. However, bone strength evaluated by micro-finite element analyzes revealed unaffected bone stiffness and maximum failure load. Evaluation of bone mineralization with aBMD by DXA at the distal radius correlated with vBMD by HRpQCT measurements at both sites. PTH levels were inversely correlated with trabecular vBMD and BV/TV at the tibia. We then followed a subset of nine patients (median follow-up of 4 years) and reassessed HRpQCT. At the tibia, we observed a greater decrease than expected from an age and sex standardized normal population in total and cortical vBMD as well as a trabecularization of the cortical compartment. In conclusion, in adult patients with XLH, bone mineral density is high at the axial skeleton but low at the appendicular skeleton. With time, microarchitectural alterations worsen. We propose that noninvasive evaluation methods of bone mineralization such as DXA including the radius should be part of the management of XLH patients. Larger studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significance of BMD changes in XLH patients under conventional or targeted therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the clinical value of the renal phosphorus threshold (ratio of tubular maximum reabsorption of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate, TmP/GFR) in the diagnosis and treatment of children with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). METHODS A retrospective study was conducted, including 83 children diagnosed with XLH at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2010 to January 2023. Initial diagnosis and follow-up data were collected to investigate the correlation of TmP/GFR with the severity of rickets, calcium and phosphorus metabolism indicators, and the dosage of phosphate treatment. Children were divided into two groups based on the occurrence of renal calcification: the renal calcification group (n=47) and the non-renal calcification group (n=36). Clinical data between the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing renal calcification in XLH children. The predictive value of TmP/GFR for renal calcification in XLH children was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS In the 83 XLH children, the initial TmP/GFR was (0.78±0.21) mmol/L, with significant individual variation (range: 0.28-1.24 mmol/L). TmP/GFR showed no significant correlation with the severity of rickets (P>0.05). Parathyroid hormone was negatively correlated with TmP/GFR (rs=-0.020, P=0.008), while blood phosphorus (rs=0.384, P<0.001), blood calcium (rs=0.251, P<0.001), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (rs=0.179, P<0.001) were positively correlated with TmP/GFR. No significant correlation was found between TmP/GFR and alkaline phosphatase (rs=-0.002, P=0.960) or phosphate treatment dosage (rs=0.012, P=0.800). Blood calcium and TmP/GFR levels were significantly lower in the renal calcification group than in the non-renal calcification group (P<0.05), while parathyroid hormone and urine calcium levels were significantly higher in the renal calcification group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that TmP/GFR and urine calcium levels were closely associated with renal calcification in XLH children (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that the areas under the curve for TmP/GFR, urine calcium, and their combined detection predicting renal calcification in XLH children were 0.696, 0.679, and 0.761, respectively. CONCLUSIONS TmP/GFR may serve as an important diagnostic indicator for pediatric XLH; however, it does not reflect the severity or activity of rickets and cannot be used to judge the efficacy of traditional treatment. Urine calcium and TmP/GFR are valuable predictors for renal calcification in XLH children.

Abstract
Our study investigates the impact of FGF23 overexpression on SaOS-2 cells to elucidate its role in cellular stress and morphology, contributing to the understanding of skeletal pathologies like X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). Using transmission electron microscopy and protein analysis (Western blot), we analyzed the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) and mitochondria in SaOS-2 cells with FGF23 overexpression compared to controls. We found significant morphological changes, including enlarged and elongated rER and mitochondria, with increased contact zones, suggesting enhanced interaction and adaptation to elevated protein synthesis and secretion demands. Additionally, we observed higher apoptosis rates of the cells after 24-72 h in vitro and upregulated proteins associated with ER stress and apoptosis, such as CHOP, XBP1 (spliced and unspliced), GRP94, eIF2α, and BAX. These findings indicate a robust activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and apoptotic pathways due to FGF23 overexpression. Our results highlight the critical role of ER and mitochondrial interactions in cellular stress responses and provide new insights into the mechanistic link between FGF23 signaling and cellular homeostasis. In conclusion, our study underscores the importance of analyzing UPR-related pathways in the development of therapeutic strategies for skeletal and systemic diseases and contributes to a broader understanding of diseases like XLH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variants in SLC34A1 and SLC34A2 genes, which encode co-transporters NaPi2a and NaPi2c, respectively, can lead to hypophosphatemia due to renal phosphate loss. This condition results in hypercalcitriolemia and hypercalciuria, leading to formation of kidney stones and nephrocalcinosis. Phenotype is highly variable. Management includes hyperhydration, dietary modifications, and/or phosphate supplementation. Thiazides and azoles may be used, but randomized studies are needed to confirm their clinical efficacy. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study in the pediatric nephrology unit at Grenoble University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2023. The study aimed to describe clinical and biological symptoms of patients with confirmed SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 gene variants and their outcomes. RESULTS A total of 11 patients (9 females) from 6 different families had variants in the SLC34A1 (5 patients) and SLC34A3 (6 patients) genes. Median age at diagnosis was 72 [1-108] months. Average follow-up duration was 8.1 ± 4.5 years. Presenting symptom was nephrocalcinosis (4 cases), followed by renal colic (3 cases). At diagnosis, 90% of patients had hypercalciuria and 45% had hypercalcitriolemia. Management included hyperhydration and dietary advice. All patients showed favorable outcomes with normal growth and school attendance. One patient with an SLC34A3 variant showed regression of nephrocalcinosis. Kidney function remained normal. CONCLUSION Clinical and biological manifestations of SLC34 gene variants are highly variable, even among siblings; therefore, management must be personalized. Hygienic and dietary measures (such as hyperhydration, a low sodium diet, and age-appropriate calcium intake) result in favorable outcomes in most cases. Use of azoles (e.g., fluconazole) appears to be a promising therapeutic option.

Abstract
While the clinical consequences of severe ENPP1 deficiency leading to the rare disorders generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) and autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2) are well defined and understood, much less is known about how this evolves into adulthood and how moderate ENPP1 deficiency can first manifest in adulthood. Moreover, growing evidence substantiates an association of genetic variants in the ENPP1 gene with a wide range of further clinical manifestations including early-onset osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and different forms of spinal ligament calcifications, i.e., diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and ossification of the posterior/anterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL/OALL). Furthermore, conditions with primarily extraskeletal signs and symptoms such as Cole disease, coagulopathies, and metabolic syndrome can seemingly result from ENPP1 variants. The causality and the pathophysiology behind these different clinical presentations appear complex and require further research, especially since the coincidence of these different phenotypes is rarely described and available evidence suggests that part of the aforementioned manifestations may result from ENPP1 effects beyond the catalytic activity of processing ATP to AMP and inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). Growing awareness of the additional ENPP1-related manifestations across the lifespan will advance our understanding of this complex condition and help to standardize diagnostic approaches and develop individually tailored treatment concepts.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphataemia is a genetic disease caused by defects in the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene and is characterised by X-linked dominant inheritance. The main consequence of PHEX deficiency is increased production of the phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in osteoblasts and osteocytes. Chronic exposure to circulating FGF23 is responsible for renal phosphate wasting and decreased synthesis of calcitriol, which decreases intestinal phosphate absorption. These mechanisms result in lifelong hypophosphataemia, impaired growth plate and bone matrix mineralisation, and diverse manifestations in affected children and adults, including some debilitating morbidities and possibly increased mortality. Important progress has been made in disease knowledge and management over the past decade; in particular, targeting FGF23 is a therapeutic approach that has substantially improved outcomes. However, patients affected by this complex disease need lifelong care and innovative treatment strategies, such as gene repair of PHEX, are necessary to further limit the disease burden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLHR) is the most common genetic form of hypophosphatemic rickets (HR), which is caused by phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene mutation. At present, the genotype-phenotype relationship of XLHR and the pathogenic role of PHEX are not fully understood. METHODS In this study, we summarized clinical features in a new cohort of 49 HR patients and detected 16 novel PHEX and 5 novel non-PHEX variants. Subsequently, we studied the pathogenesis of new variants by protein expression, glycosylation analysis, subcellular localization, and endopeptidase activity. RESULTS The results showed that missense variants (Q189H and X750R) slightly reduced protein expression without obviously altering protein length and localization, whereas truncating variants significantly impaired the synthesis of PHEX and produced a shorter immature protein in cells. Interestingly, no evident correlation was observed between mutation types and clinical phenotypes. However, when we analyzed the relationship between PHEX activity and serum phosphorus level, we found that patients with low PHEX activity tended to have severe hypophosphatemia and high rickets severity score. Following this observation, we established 2 new knock-in XLHR mouse models with 2 novel Phex variants (c.T1349C and c.C426G, respectively) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Both mouse models demonstrated clinical manifestations of XLHR seen in patients, and PhexC426G mice showed more severe phenotype than PhexT1349C mice, which further confirmed the rationality of genotype-PHEX enzymatic activity correlation analysis. CONCLUSION Therefore, our findings demonstrated that novel PHEX variants could disrupt protein function via affecting protein synthesis, post-translational modification, cellular trafficking, and catalytic activity. Our study facilitates a better understanding of XLHR pathogenic mechanism and PHEX activity-phenotype correlation, which is of crucial importance for future diagnosis and treatment of XLHR.

Abstract
Burosumab is indicated for treatment of a rare bone disease, X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the relationship between a treatment response biomarker and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Longitudinal data for PROs were obtained from adults with XLH from a phase III study. Individual rich time profiles of the biomarker, serum phosphate were simulated using a prior population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model to calculate serum phosphate exposure metrics for each 28-day treatment cycle, which were then merged with PROs data. Item response theory parameters were first estimated to map a latent variable, ψ, that is, disability score, relative to baseline. Next, the relationships between serum phosphate exposures and ψ were modeled using a nonlinear mixed-effect (NLME) modeling approach. A combined item response theory-NLME model with average serum phosphate as a predictor of ψ described PROs data well. The model estimates suggested 28%, 31%, and 25% reduction in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, brief pain inventory, and brief fatigue inventory scores, respectively, with every unit increase in average serum phosphate from the lower limit of normal (2.5 mg/dL). Additionally, a time effect of ~ 0.08% improvements each week was estimated. The analysis suggested that burosumab treatment-induced improvements in serum phosphate levels are associated with improvements in PROs in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia. The analyses confirmed the importance of prolonged serum phosphate level correction in adult patients with XLH. These results can be useful to guide the design of further studies and to design treatment optimization strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare multi-systemic disease characterized by low plasma phosphate levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the annual XLH prevalence and internally evaluate predictive algorithms' application performance for the early diagnosis of XLH. METHODS The PediaNet database, containing data on more than 400,000 children aged up to 14 years, was used to identify a cohort of XLH patients, which were matched with up to 10 controls by date of birth and gender. The annual prevalence of XLH cases per 100,000 patients registered in PediaNet database was estimated. To identify possible predictors associated with XLH diagnosis, a logistic regression model and two machine learning algorithms were applied. Predictive analyses were separately carried out including patients with at least 1 or 2 years of database history in PediaNet. RESULTS Among 431,021 patients registered in the PediaNet database between 2007-2020, a total of 12 cases were identified with a mean annual prevalence of 1.78 cases per 100,000 patients registered in PediaNet database. Overall, 8 cases and 60 matched controls were included in the analysis. The random forest algorithm achieved the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value both in the one-year prior ID (AUC = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.99-1.00) and the two-year prior ID (AUC = 1.00, 95% CI = 1.00-1.00) analysis. Overall, the XLH predictors selected by the three predictive methods were: the number of vitamin D prescriptions, the number of recorded diagnoses of acute respiratory infections, the number of prescriptions of antihistamine for systemic use, the number of prescriptions of X-ray of the lower limbs and pelvis and the number of allergology visits. CONCLUSION Findings showed that data-driven machine learning models may play a prominent role for the prediction of the diagnosis of rare diseases such as XLH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a hormone to reduce blood phosphate concentration. Excessive actions of FGF23 induce FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders, such as X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) and tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO). We will summarize recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders. RECENT FINDINGS The measurement of blood FGF23 is useful to make a diagnosis of FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders. It was reported that many patients with FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders, especially TIO, were misdiagnosed, therefore, it is necessary to enhance the awareness of these diseases. A novel method to inhibit excessive actions of FGF23 by a human monoclonal antibody for FGF23, burosumab, has been approved in several countries. In more long-term observation than clinical trials, burosumab has also been shown to improve biochemical abnormalities and symptoms of rickets/osteomalacia. Following these advances, several registries and consensus recommendations on FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders, especially XLH, have been established in each country or region. SUMMARY Further long-term effects of burosumab and the precise mechanism of FGF23 overproduction in patients with FGF23-related hypophosphatemic disorders need to be clarified in the future studies.

Abstract
Rickets results from defective bone mineralization, leading to skeletal deformities. Among those deformities, rickets has been associated with craniosynostosis, the premature closure of cranial sutures. Most of these patients have fusion of major sutures. Rarely, squamosal craniosynostosis in association with rickets has been described. Squamosal craniosynostosis is noted as lacking a definitive head abnormality and difficult visualization on standard imaging modalities, leading to poor recognition. Careful attention should be given to rickets patients to monitor for these unusual suture closures. Additionally, craniosynostosis could be a presenting feature of rickets, and further rickets evaluation of the patient is indicated.

Abstract
Long-term hypophosphatemia, defined by serum phosphorus (P) levels <2.5mg/dL, impairs the development and quality of mineralized tissue of the skeletal, dental, and auditory systems. P homeostasis depends mainly on intestinal absorption and renal excretion. Hypophosphatemia may be due to the redistribution of P to the intracellular space, increased renal losses, or decreased intestinal absorption. Hypophosphatemia can be categorized as acute or chronic, depending on the time course. Most cases, either acute or chronic, are due to acquired causes. However, some chronic cases may have a genetic origin. Accurate and early diagnosis, followed by adequate treatment, is essential to limit its negative effects on the body.

Abstract
CONTEXT X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disorder causing renal phosphate wasting, which predicates musculoskeletal manifestations such as rickets. Diagnosis is often delayed. OBJECTIVE To explore the recording of clinical features, and the diagnostic odyssey of children and adolescents with XLH in primary care electronic healthcare records (EHRs) in the United Kingdom. METHODS Using the Optimum Patient Care Research Database, individuals aged 20 years or younger after January 1, 2000, at date of recorded XLH diagnosis were identified using Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED)/Read codes and age-matched to 100 controls. Recording of XLH-related clinical features was summarized then compared between cases and controls using chi-squared or Fisher's exact test. RESULTS In total, 261 XLH cases were identified; 99 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 84/99 had at least 1 XLH-related clinical feature recorded in their primary care EHR. Clinical codes for rickets, genu varum, and low phosphate were recorded prior to XLH diagnosis in under 20% of cases (median of 1, 1, and 3 years prior, respectively). Rickets, genu varum, low phosphate, nephrocalcinosis, and growth delay were significantly more likely to be recorded in cases. CONCLUSION This characterization of the EHR phenotypes of children and adolescents with XLH may inform future case-finding approaches to expedite diagnosis in primary care.

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.

[PMID: 38931274 PMCID: PMC11206606 DOI: 10.3390/nu16121920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A balanced diet rich in calcium and protein is recommended for bone-healthy people and osteoporosis patients, but it may also be important for rare bone disease (RBD). Little data is available on RBD and diet. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional behavior of patients with RBD. METHODS This single-center, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study assessed the nutritional behavior of RBD patients (X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), hypophosphatasia (HPP)), osteoporosis (OPO) patients and healthy controls (CTRL). The nutritional questionnaire comprised 25 questions from seven nutritional areas. The associations between socioeconomic factors and BMI were assessed by age-adjusted univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). RESULTS Fifty patients with RBD (17 OI, 17 HPP, 16 XLH; mean age of 48.8 ± 15.9, 26.0% male, mean BMI 26.2 ± 5.6), 51 with OPO (mean age 66.6 ± 10.0, 9.8% male, mean BMI 24.2 ± 3.9) and 52 CTRL (mean age 50.8 ± 16.3, 26.9% male, mean BMI 26.4 ± 4.7) participated. Twenty-six (52.0%) RBD, 17 (33.4%) OPO and 24 (46.1%) CTRL were overweight or obese according to BMI. Only a minority of RBD, OPO and CTRL had a daily intake of at least three portions of milk or milk products (17.3% RBD, 15.6% OPO, 11.6% CTRL, p = 0.453). In general, similar nutritional behavior was observed between the three subgroups. However, significant differences were found in caffeine consumption (p = 0.016), fruit/vegetable juice consumption (p = 0.034), portions of fish per week (p = 0.044), high-fat meals per week (p = 0.015) and consumption of salty snacks (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Nutritional counseling, controlling BMI and ensuring sufficient calcium and protein intake are crucial in patients with osteoporosis as well as in rare bone diseases. Vitamin D does not appear to be sufficiently supplied by the diet, and therefore supplementation should be considered in patients with bone diseases.

Abstract
Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (VDDR1A) is a rare condition caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in CYP27B1, which encodes 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-1-α-hydroxylase. Inadequate activity of this enzyme results in deficient 1α-hydroxylation of inactive 25-hydroxyvitamin D to biologically active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, with consequent adverse effects on calcium and phosphate metabolism. A female child was clinically diagnosed at 18 months old with hypophosphatemic rickets based on phenotype and biochemical testing, with neither parent affected. A subsequent affected male sibling led to the reconsideration of the diagnosis. Exome sequencing showed a homozygous CYP27B1 c.1040T>A (p.Ile347Asn) variant for both children. No variants were found in genes associated with hypophosphatemic rickets. A review of published cases of VDDR1A with homozygous CYP27B1 variants indicates variable clinical presentation, lack of genotype-phenotype correlation, and low serum phosphate at diagnosis in most cases. These findings emphasize the clinical importance of molecular testing as part of the diagnostic evaluation for cases of non-nutritional rickets.

Abstract
Hypophosphatemic rickets, which is often hereditary, is still under- or misdiagnosed in both children and adults, denying these individuals access to optimal management and genetic counseling. There have been recent calls to compile real-world data and share best practice on these rare conditions to guide clinical decision-making. Here we present eight clinical vignettes of patients with hypophosphatemic rickets encountered in our tertiary pediatric endocrinology practice. We describe the clinical features, genetics, and management of four cases of X-linked hypophosphatemia (PHEX mutations), one each of autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets (DMP1 mutation) and autosomal recessive vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1A (CYP27B1 mutation), and two cases of distal renal tubular acidosis with FOXI1 mutation-associated hypophosphatemic rickets. Our cases prompt consideration of the (i) frequent misdiagnosis of hypophosphatemic rickets in clinical practice and the importance of comprehensive genetic testing; (ii) variable expressivity of the causative mutations; and (iii) a lack of responsiveness and/or compliance to conventional therapy and the value of burosumab in modern management, provided access is equitable. These cases highlight common real-world themes and challenges to managing patients presenting with these diverse conditions, especially the burden of disease hidden by misdiagnosis. In sharing these cases, we hope to raise awareness of these conditions, promote best practice in genetic diagnosis and management, and further advocate for reimbursement equity for the best available therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) represents the most prevalent cause of hereditary hypophosphatemia. X-linked hypophosphatemia causes an elevation of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a hormone responsible for inducing hyperphosphaturia, and reduced active vitamin D synthesis. Challenges in diagnosis and the absence of well-defined clinical guidelines have resulted in higher rates of late diagnoses. While numerous reports focus on pediatric X-linked hypophosphatemia patients, studies in adults are limited. METHODS Multicenter, cross-sectional, observational study of a cohort of adult patients diagnosed with X-linked hypophosphatemia. The study identified demographic, clinical, genetic, laboratory variables, treatments used, comorbidities, and complications. RESULTS Twenty patients diagnosed with X-linked hypophosphatemia were collected. The median age at diagnosis was 11 (1-56) years and at data collection was 44 (21-68) years. Fifty percent of cases were diagnosed in adulthood. Main clinical manifestation was osteoarticular pain, in 75% of cases, and no relation to age at diagnosis, height, phosphorus, or parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels was observed (p > 0.05). Lower limb deformities were associated with reduced stature and earlier diagnosis (p < 0.05). Sixty percent of patients reported pain requiring chronic medication and no significant correlation was found with other variables. Anxiety and depression were found in an important number of patients. FGF23 levels were not related to any of the clinical variables studied (p > 0.05). DISCUSSION This is the largest study on adult patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia in southern Europe. It may offer valuable insights into the natural progression and course of the condition in adults, which can aid in better clinical management.

Abstract
Phosphate is a key component of mineralized tissues and is also part of many organic compounds. Phosphorus homeostasis depends especially upon intestinal absorption, and renal excretion, which are regulated by various hormones, such as PTH, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor 23. In this review we provide an update of several genetic disorders that affect phosphate transporters through cell membranes or the phosphate-regulating hormones, and, consequently, result in hypophosphatemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral health is impaired in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), resulting in delayed dental development, malocclusion, and radiographic abnormalities. This study investigates the oral manifestations in Slovenian XLH patients, focusing on enamel and dentin abnormalities and a literature review of spontaneous periapical abscesses in XLH cases. OBJECTIVES To report XLH patients with specific oral signs and symptoms, histological analysis of affected teeth, and review of reported cases of XLH patients with spontaneous periapical abscesses. METHODS Case reports: Seven XLH patients from the National Registry of Patients with Rare Diseases underwent a detailed oral examination, including X-ray reviews. The patients who were expected to have tooth exfoliation or extraction were asked to donate their teeth for histological analysis by scanning electron microscopy. LITERATURE SEARCH A literature search of four electronic databases and a manual bibliography search aimed to identify documented cases of XLH with periapical abscesses up to January 21, 2024. Inclusion criteria were confirmed XLH patients with periapical abscesses in English peer-reviewed publications. RESULTS Tooth samples from three XLH patients showed reduced dentin mineralisation, affecting one-third to one-half of the outer dentin. Inadequate mineralisation, uneven dentin tubules, and cracks and chipping in the enamel were observed, indicating mineralisation deviations. Similar cracks extended into the dentin and were also present in the root of the examined tooth. Based on the content of the 75 items identified in the search, spontaneous abscesses are not uncommon in patients with XLH. CONCLUSIONS XLH significantly affects patients' lives and requires lifelong treatment. Dental examinations consistently revealed oral problems, including malocclusion. Histological analysis confirmed structural changes, especially in the dentin. Despite continued treatment, XLH patients may have an increased risk of oral pathologies. Further research is needed to understand the impact of XLH and its treatment on dental health.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare inherited disorder of renal phosphate wasting with a highly variable phenotype caused by loss-of-function variants in the PHEX gene. The diagnosis of individuals with mild phenotypes can be challenging and often delayed. Here, we describe a three-generation family with a very mild clinical presentation of XLH. The diagnosis was unexpectedly found in a 39-year-old woman who was referred for genetic testing due to an unclear childhood diagnosis of a tubulopathy. Genetic testing performed by next-generation sequencing using a kidney disease gene panel identified a novel non-canonical splice site variant in the PHEX gene. Segregation analysis detected that the consultand's father, who presented with hypophosphatemia and decreased tubular phosphate reabsorption, and the consultand's son also carried this variant. RNA studies demonstrated that the non-canonical splice site variant partially altered the splicing of the PHEX gene, as both wild-type and aberrant splicing transcripts were detected in the two male members with only one copy of the PHEX gene. In conclusion, this case contributes to the understanding of the relationship between splicing variants and the variable expressivity of XLH disease. The mild phenotype of this family can be explained by the coexistence of PHEX transcripts with aberrant and wild-type splicing.

Abstract
Background X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, progressive disorder characterized by excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), causing renal phosphate-wasting and impaired active vitamin D synthesis. Burosumab is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody that inhibits FGF23, restoring patient serum phosphate levels. Safety data on long-term burosumab treatment are currently limited. Objectives This post-authorization safety study (PASS) aims to monitor long-term safety outcomes in children and adolescents (1-17 years) treated with burosumab for XLH. This first interim analysis reports the initial PASS safety outcomes. Design A 10-year retrospective and prospective cohort study. Methods This PASS utilizes International XLH Registry (NCT03193476) data, which includes standard diagnostic and monitoring practice data at participating European centers. Results At data cut-off (13 May 2021), 647 participants were included in the International XLH Registry; 367 were receiving burosumab, of which 67 provided consent to be included in the PASS. Mean (SD) follow-up time was 2.2 (1.0) years. Mean (SD) age was 7.3 (4.3) years (range 1.0-17.5 years). Mean duration of burosumab exposure was 29.7 (25.0) months. Overall, 25/67 participants (37.3%) experienced ⩾1 adverse event (AE) during follow-up; 83 AEs were reported. There were no deaths, no AEs leading to treatment withdrawal, nor serious AEs related to treatment. The most frequently reported AEs were classified as 'musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders', with 'pain in extremity' most frequently reported, followed by 'infections and infestations', with 'tooth abscess' the most frequently reported. Conclusion In this first interim analysis of the PASS, covering the initial 2 years of data collection, the safety profile of burosumab is consistent with previously reported safety data. The PASS will provide long-term safety data over its 10-year duration for healthcare providers and participants with XLH that contribute to improvements in the knowledge of burosumab safety.

Abstract
Introduction X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is caused by an inactivating mutation in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase X-linked (PHEX) gene whose defective product fails to control phosphatonin fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) serum levels. Although elevated FGF23 levels have been linked with detrimental cardiac effects, the cardiologic outcomes in XLH patients have been subject to debate. Our study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of cardiovascular morbidity in pediatric XLH patients before, during, and after a 2-year treatment period with burosumab, a recombinant anti-FGF23 antibody. Methods This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary medical center, and included 13 individuals with XLH (age range 0.6-16.2 years) who received burosumab every 2 weeks. Clinical assessment at treatment initiation and after .5, 1, and 2 years of uninterrupted treatment included anthropometric measurements and cardiologic evaluations (blood pressure [BP], electrocardiogram, conventional echocardiography, and myocardial strain imaging). Results The linear growth of all patients improved significantly (mean height z-score: from -1.70 ± 0.80 to -0.96 ± 1.08, P=0.03). Other favorable effects were decline in overweight/obesity rates (from 46.2% to 23.1%) and decreased rates of elevated BP (systolic BP from 38.5% to 15.4%; diastolic BP from 38.5% to 23.1%). Electrocardiograms revealed no significant abnormality throughout the study period. Cardiac dimensions and myocardial strain parameters were within the normative range for age at baseline and remained unchanged during the study period. Conclusion Cardiologic evaluations provided reassurance that 2 years of burosumab therapy did not cause cardiac morbidity. The beneficial effect of this treatment was a reduction in cardiovascular risk factors, as evidenced by the lower prevalence of both overweight/obesity and elevated BP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children with X Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH) suffer from carential ricket, bone deformities and lameness. No previous study demonstrated a morphological distinction in muscles in these patients. The aim of this prospective study was to characterize, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the muscle morphology of pelvis, thigh and leg in children with XLH and to compare it with typically developed (TD) children. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that lower limbs muscles in children with XLH are different from TD children and could explain limp walking. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three-dimensional reconstructions of the muscles were performed in 11 patients with XLH and 15 TD children. Muscle lengths, sections and volumes were calculated and normalized with height and weight. Mean age was 10. RESULTS Lengths were all smaller in children with XLH except for the Medius/minimus gluteus muscles (p=0.64). The difference seemed higher in muscles with a long tendinous part as semitendinosus (0.139 vs 0,164; p<0.01). All volumes were significantly inferior in children with XLH. This preliminary study showed significant differences in muscle structures between patients with XLH and TD children. DISCUSSION Medius/minimus gluteus seemed to be particularly developed in children with XLH. Nevertheless it is not possible to conclude if it is related to XLH or a consequence of bone deformities. LEVEL OF PROOF IV.

Abstract
Rickets results from impaired mineralization of growing bone due to alterations in calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Clinical signs of rickets are related to the age of the patient, the duration of the disease, and the underlying disorder. The most common signs of rickets are swelling of the wrists, knees or ankles, bowing of the legs (knock-knees, outward bowing, or both) and inability to walk. However, clinical features alone cannot differentiate between the various forms of rickets. Rickets includes a heterogeneous group of acquired and inherited diseases. Nutritional rickets is due to a deficiency of vitamin D, dietary calcium or phosphate. Mutations in genes responsible for vitamin D metabolism or function, the production or breakdown of fibroblast growth factor 23, renal phosphate regulation, or bone mineralization can lead to the hereditary form of rickets. This position paper reviews the relevant literature and presents the expertise of the Bone and Mineral Metabolism Group of the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (SIEDP). The aim of this document is to provide practical guidance to specialists and healthcare professionals on the main criteria for diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients with rickets. The various forms of rickets are discussed, and detailed references for the discussion of each form are provided. Algorithms to guide the diagnostic approach and recommendations to manage patients with rare forms of hereditary rickets are proposed.

Abstract
CONTEXT Fibrous dysplasia (FD) results in fractures, pain, and deformities. Abnormal osteoprogenitor cells overproduce FGF23, leading to hyperphosphaturia in most patients and frank hypophosphatemia in a subset. Studies suggest hypophosphatemia is associated with increased FD-related morbidity. However, the relationship between phosphorus and skeletal complications has not been investigated, and the optimal therapeutic target has not been determined. OBJECTIVE Characterize the impact of serum phosphorus on FD-related morbidity and identify levels associated with increased skeletal complications. METHODS Natural history study with 240 subjects at a clinical research center who had ≥1 fasting phosphorus level, determined as age- and sex-adjusted Z-scores. Subjects were categorized based on frank hypophosphatemia (Z-score ≤ -2; n = 48); low-normophosphatemia (> -2 to ≤ -1; n = 66); and high-normophosphatemia (> -1 to ≤ 2; n = 125). Main outcomes were fractures, orthopedic surgeries, and scoliosis. RESULTS Subjects with frank and low-normophosphatemia had increased fracture and surgery rates vs high-normophosphatemia. The prevalence of moderate to severe scoliosis was similarly higher in the frank and low-normophosphatemia groups. In a subanalysis of patients matched for Skeletal Burden Score ≥35, fracture and surgery rates remained higher in the frank hypophosphatemia group, suggesting association between phosphorus and skeletal complications is not explained by differences in FD burden alone. CONCLUSION Both frank hypophosphatemia and low-normophosphatemia are associated with increased FD-related complications. This supports FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia as a driver of skeletal morbidity, which may impact a larger proportion of the FD/McCune-Albright syndrome population than previously recognized. These findings enable clinicians to identify at-risk patients and will inform development of prospective studies to determine optimal therapeutic targets.

Non-Surgical Strategies for Managing Skeletal Deformities in a Child with X-Linked Hereditary Hypophosphatemic Ricket: Insights and Perspectives. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:487. [PMID: 38671703 PMCID: PMC11049417 DOI: 10.3390/children11040487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
This case report sheds light on the management of skeletal deformity in a young child with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), emphasizing the significance of a timely orthotic intervention alongside pharmacological treatment, which is a strategy not frequently highlighted in the XLH literature. The patient, a 2-year-and-7-month-old female, presented with classic XLH symptoms, including short stature, pronounced genu varum, and hypophosphatemia, with deformities observed in both the coronal and sagittal planes of the femur and tibia. Despite initial reliance on pharmacotherapy, which proved insufficient for skeletal realignment, the integration of orthotic treatment at age 3 marked a pivotal turn in the management strategy. By the age of 5 years and 9 months, this combined approach yielded significant improvements: the deformities in the femur and tibia were notably corrected, tibial torsion was addressed, and enhanced limb alignment was achieved, as corroborated by radiographic evidence. This case underscores the effectiveness of orthotic intervention as a critical and underemphasized adjunct to pharmacological therapy in managing XLH in early childhood. It advocates for the early inclusion of orthotic measures to optimize treatment outcomes and expand the range of management strategies for limb deformities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Measuring 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), parathyroid hormone 1-84 (PTH 1-84) and intact FGF23 (iFGF23) is crucial for diagnosing a variety of diseases affecting bone and mineral homeostasis. Biological variability (BV) data are important for defining analytical quality specifications (APS), the usefulness of reference intervals, and the significance of variations in serial measurements in the same subject. The aim of this study was to pioneer the provision of BV estimates for 1,25(OH)2D and to improve existing BV estimates for iFGF23 and PTH 1-84. MATERIALS AND METHODS Serum and plasma-EDTA samples of sixteen healthy subjects have been collected for seven weeks and measured in duplicate by chemiluminescent immunoassay on the DiaSorin Liaison platform. After variance verification, within-subject (CVI) and between-subject (CVG) BV estimates were assessed by either standard ANOVA, or CV-ANOVA. The APSs were calculated according to the EFLM-BV-model. RESULTS We found the following CVI estimates with 95% confidence intervals:1,25(OH)2D, 22.2% (18.9-26.4); iFGF23, 16.1% (13.5-19.5); and PTH 1-84, 17.9% (14.8-21.8). The CVG were: 1,25(OH)2D, 21.2% (14.2-35.1); iFGF23, 21.1% (14.5-35.8); and PTH 1-84, 31.1% (22.1-50.8). CONCLUSIONS We report for the first time BV estimates for 1,25(OH)2D and enhance existing data about iFGF23-BV and PTH 1-84-BV through cutting-edge immunometric methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disease that disturbs bone and teeth mineralization. It also affects craniofacial growth and patients with XLH often require orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to describe changes in the dental health of XLH children during orthodontic treatment compared with those in matched controls undergoing similar orthodontic procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS For this retrospective case-control study, we included all individuals less than 16 years old diagnosed with XLH, orthodontically treated in our centre from 2016 to 2022 and pair-matched them to patients with no chronic or genetic conditions. Clinical and radiological parameters concerning their malocclusion, craniofacial discrepancy and the characteristics and iatrogenic effects of their orthodontic treatment were analysed. RESULTS Fifteen XLH patients (mean age: 11.3 ± 2.1), pair-matched to 15 control patients were included. Orthodontic treatment was successfully conducted in XLH patients with slightly shorter duration and similar iatrogenic effects as in the control group, except for the occurrence of dental abscess during and after orthodontic tooth movement. XLH patients did not show more relapse than the controls. CONCLUSION Despite the presence of oral manifestations of XLH such as spontaneous abscesses, XLH patients can undergo orthodontic treatment with no obvious additional iatrogenic effects.

Abstract
Summary X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), the most prevalent form of inherited hypophosphatemic rickets, is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX). This case series presents 14 cases of XLH from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The patients' medical history, biochemical and radiological investigative findings, as well as treatment responses and side effects from both conventional and burosumab therapy, are described. Cases were aged 2-40 years at diagnosis. There were two male cases and 12 female cases. All cases were treated with conventional therapy which resulted in a lack of improvement in or worsening of the clinical signs and symptoms of rickets or biochemical parameters. Side effects of conventional therapy included nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nephrocalcinosis, and hyperparathyroidism, which affected the patients' quality of life and adherence to treatment. In the 10 patients treated with burosumab, there was a marked improvement in the biochemical markers of rickets, with a mean increase in serum phosphate of +0.56 mmol/L and tubular maximum phosphate reabsorption (TmP) to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ratio (TmP/GFR) of +0.39 mmol/L at 12 months compared to baseline. Furthermore, a mean decrease in serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) of -80.80 IU/L and parathyroid hormone (PTH) of -63.61 pmol/L at 12 months compared to baseline was observed in these patients. Additionally, patients treated with burosumab reported reduced pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue as well as the ability to lead more physically active lives with no significant side effects of treatment. Learning points Conventional therapy resulted in a suboptimal response, with a lack of improvement of clinical signs and symptoms. Side effects of conventional therapy included nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nephrocalcinosis, and hyperparathyroidism, which affected the patients' quality of life and adherence to treatment. Burosumab demonstrated marked improvements in the biochemical markers of rickets, in addition to reducing pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue. There were no significant side effects associated with burosumab therapy.

Intact FGF23 concentration in healthy infants, children, and adolescents, and diagnostic usefulness in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. J Endocrinol Invest 2024; 47:873-882. [PMID: 37991698 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-023-02202-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE FGF23 measurement may have a diagnostic role to investigate patients with phosphate disorders. However, normal values for infants, children, and adolescents have not been defined. METHODS In a total of 282 (males 145, females 137) healthy infants (n = 30), prepubertal (n = 147), pubertal (n = 59), and postpubertal (n = 46), and in twenty patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH, age 10.2 ± 5.6 years) serum phosphate (automated analyzer), and plasma intact FGF23 (immunochemiluminescent sandwich assay, DiaSorin) concentrations were measured. RESULTS Intact FGF23 concentrations were higher in healthy infants than in prepubertal (P < 0.01) and postpubertal subjects (P < 0.05); pubertal subjects showed higher values (P < 0.05) than postpubertal subjects. Serum phosphate concentrations were higher (P < 0.001) in healthy infants than in prepubertal, pubertal, and postpubertal subjects. Pubertal subjects had higher (P < 0.001) serum phosphate concentrations than postpubertal subjects. Intact FGF23 and serum phosphate concentrations did not differ (P = NS) by sex, age of menarche, and time after menarche. In healthy subjects, there was no correlation between intact FGF23 and serum phosphate concentrations. Intact FGF23 concentrations were higher (P < 0.0001) in patients with XLH than in healthy subjects according to chronological age and pubertal development. In all patients, intact FGF23 concentrations were above 40 pg/mL; intact FGF23 concentrations were inversely correlated with serum phosphate concentrations (r = -0.65; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION In healthy subjects, chronological age and puberty were main determinants of intact FGF23 concentrations. Intact FGF23 concentrations may be a useful marker for the early diagnosis of XLH in pediatric patients.

Complex intrinsic abnormalities in osteoblast lineage cells of X-linked hypophosphatemia: Analysis of human iPS cell models generated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene ablation. Bone 2024; 181:117044. [PMID: 38331306 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is caused by inactivating variants of the phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene. Although the overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is responsible for hypophosphatemia and impaired vitamin D metabolism, the pathogenesis of XLH remains unclear. We herein generated PHEX-knockout (KO) human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by applying CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene ablation to an iPS clone derived from a healthy male, and analyzed PHEX-KO iPS cells with deletions extending from exons 1 to 3 and frameshifts by inducing them to differentiate into the osteoblast lineage. We confirmed the increased production of FGF23 in osteoblast lineage cells differentiated from PHEX-KO iPS cells. In vitro mineralization was enhanced in osteoblast lineage cells from PHEX-KO iPS cells than in those from isogenic control iPS cells, which reminded us of high bone mineral density and enthesopathy in patients with XLH. The extracellular level of pyrophosphate (PPi), an inhibitor of mineralization, was elevated, and this increase appeared to be partly due to the reduced activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Osteoblast lineage cells derived from PHEX-KO iPS cells also showed the increased expression of multiple molecules such as dentine matrix protein 1, osteopontin, RUNX2, FGF receptor 1 and early growth response 1. This gene dysregulation was similar to that in the osteoblasts/osteocytes of Phex-deficient Hyp mice, suggesting that common pathogenic mechanisms are shared between human XLH and Hyp mice. Moreover, we found that the phosphorylation of CREB was markedly enhanced in osteoblast lineage cells derived from PHEX-KO iPS cells, which appeared to be associated with the up-regulation of the parathyroid hormone related protein gene. PHEX deficiency also affected the response of the ALPL gene encoding TNSALP to extracellular Pi. Collectively, these results indicate that complex intrinsic abnormalities in osteoblasts/osteocytes underlie the pathogenesis of human XLH.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, multi-systemic, invalidating disease requiring a multi-disciplinary approach. No specific action in XLH, neither for the patients' specific needs nor for the methodology for the evaluation of these were found. Thus, to identify the needs of XLH patients and their caregivers, we organised focus groups in our reference centre with a view to build educational sessions. Focus groups including either XLH children, XLH adults, or caregivers ran in parallel. Each group was led by a person trained in therapeutic education (nurse, paediatric nephrologist) with another healthcare provider specialised in XLH (rheumatologist, nephrologist). One additional person with knowledge of XLH (clinical research associate, paediatric resident) took minutes. The duration of each session was 1.5h; XLH patients/caregivers were asked to answer age-adapted "open questions" on their daily life and quality of life. At the end, a global restitution was made. The needs identified were later grouped and analysed, which allowed us to build the educational sessions. The XLH children group included 5 children, the XLH adults group included 10 adults, and the caregivers group included 6 parents or partners. Major needs were identified: knowledge of XLH, treatment, dental care and adapted physical activity, with additional questions on socio-professional adaptations and financial support in adults. Partner patients were also identified to co-build the support programme. The study allowed us to identify the needs of XLH patients and their caregivers using the focus group method and then, using these needs, to build educational sessions and a therapeutic education programme for XLH patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION X-linked hypophosphatemia is an orphan disease of genetic origin and multisystem involvement. It is characterized by a mutation of the PHEX gene which results in excess FGF23 production, with abnormal renal and intestinal phosphorus metabolism, hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia secondary to chronic renal excretion of phosphate. Clinical manifestations include hypophosphatemic rickets leading to growth abnormalities and osteomalacia, myopathy, bone pain and dental abscesses. The transition of these patients to adult life continues to pose challenges to health systems, medical practitioners, patients and families. For this reason, the aim of this consensus is to provide a set of recommendations to facilitate this process and ensure adequate management and follow-up, as well as the quality of life for patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia as they transition to adult life. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight Latin American experts on the subject participated in the consensus and two of them were appointed as coordinators. The consensus work was done in accordance with the nominal group technique in 6 phases: (1) question standardization, (2) definition of the maximum number of choices, (3) production of individual solutions or answers, (4) individual question review, (5) analysis and synthesis of the information and (6) synchronic meetings for clarification and voting. An agreement was determined to exist with 80% votes in favor in three voting cycles. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Transition to adult life in patients with hypophosphatemia is a complex process that requires a comprehensive approach, taking into consideration medical interventions and associated care, but also the psychosocial components of adult life and the participation of multiple stakeholders to ensure a successful process. The consensus proposes a total of 33 recommendations based on the evidence and the knowledge and experience of the experts. The goal of the recommendations is to optimize the management of these patients during their transition to adulthood, bearing in mind the need for multidisciplinary management, as well as the most relevant medical and psychosocial factors in the region.

Abstract
The cancer immunotherapies involved in cGAS-STING pathway have been made great progress in recent years. STING agonists exhibit broad-spectrum anti-tumor effects with strong immune response. As a negative regulator of the cGAS-STING pathway, ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) can hydrolyze extracellular 2', 3'-cGAMP and reduce extracellular 2', 3'-cGAMP concentration. ENPP1 has been validated to play important roles in diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular disease and now become a promising target for tumor immunotherapy. Several ENPP1 inhibitors under development have shown good anti-tumor effects alone or in combination with other agents in clinical and preclinical researches. In this review, the biological profiles of ENPP1 were described, and the structures and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of the known ENPP1 inhibitors were summarized. This review also provided the prospects and challenges in the development of ENPP1 inhibitors.

Successful Burosumab Treatment in an Adult Patient with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia and Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3b. Calcif Tissue Int 2024; 114:310-314. [PMID: 38195892 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-023-01169-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024]
Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a genetic cause of renal hypophosphatemia due to inactivation of the PHEX gene, with an inappropriate concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Burosumab, an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody, is a validated treatment for XLH, but its use in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has not been validated. A 61-year-old man with XLH developed CKD during follow-up. Conventional treatment (phosphate salts and active vitamin D analogs) was poorly tolerated. Treatment with burosumab was decided at a multi-professional meeting. Before burosumab initiation, his measured glomerular filtration rate was 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 defining CKD stage 3b and intact FGF23 concentration was very high (4496.0 ng/mL, N: 22.7-93.1) due to both XLH and CKD. Severe hypophosphatemia was observed after the two first injections of burosumab at usual doses (1 mg/kg monthly) and concomitant discontinuation of the conventional treatment. After increasing the dose and reducing the interval between doses (1.3 mg/kg every three weeks) from the third injection, serum phosphate concentration normalized and remained around the lower limit of the normal range. A local cutaneous reaction was observed just after the second injection, but did not recur. We report for the first time the efficacy and good short-term tolerance of burosumab in a patient with XLH and CKD, subject to a higher dosage aimed at achieving a phosphatemia at the lower limit of the normal range.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common monogenetic cause of chronic hypophosphatemia, characterized by rickets and osteomalacia. Disease manifestations and treatment of XLH patients in the Netherlands are currently unknown. Characteristics of XLH patients participating in the Dutch observational registry for genetic hypophosphatemia and acquired renal phosphate wasting were analyzed. Eighty XLH patients, including 29 children, were included. Genetic testing, performed in 78.8% of patients, showed a PHEX mutation in 96.8%. Median (range) Z-score for height was - 2.5 (- 5.5; 1.0) in adults and - 1.4 (- 3.7; 1.0) in children. Many patients were overweight or obese: 64.3% of adults and 37.0% of children. All children received XLH-related medication e.g., active vitamin D, phosphate supplementation or burosumab, while 8 adults used no medication. Lower age at start of XLH-related treatment was associated with higher height at inclusion. Hearing loss was reported in 6.9% of children and 31.4% of adults. Knee deformities were observed in 75.0% of all patients and osteoarthritis in 51.0% of adult patients. Nephrocalcinosis was observed in 62.1% of children and 33.3% of adults. Earlier start of XLH-related treatment was associated with higher risk of nephrocalcinosis and detection at younger age. Hyperparathyroidism longer than six months was reported in 37.9% of children and 35.3% of adults. This nationwide study confirms the high prevalence of adiposity, hearing loss, bone deformities, osteoarthritis, nephrocalcinosis and hyperparathyroidism in Dutch XLH patients. Early start of XLH-related treatment appears to be beneficial for longitudinal growth but may increase development of nephrocalcinosis.

Abstract
Hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia caused by FGF23 excess is conventionally treated with multiple doses of inorganic phosphate salts and active vitamin D analogs. However, conventional therapy targets the consequences of elevated FGF23 and not the elevated FGF23 itself and is associated with poor adherence and long-term complications such as nephrocalcinosis and secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Burosumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds to and neutralises FGF-23, thereby leading to improvement in phosphate homeostasis and healing of rickets and osteomalacia. Data from phase 2 and 3 trials report overall safety and efficacy and Burosumab is now FDA approved for treatment of XLH and TIO in children and adults. Cost and absence of long-term data are major issues with Burosumab which should be addressed in near future. At present, experts recommend Burosumab use in patients with severe disease or those with mild-moderate disease and a failed response to a trial of conventional therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fanconi renotubular syndromes (FRTS) are a rare group of inherited phosphaturic disorders with limited Indian as well as global data on this condition. Here, we describe the experience of a single Endocrinology center from Western India on FRTS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Comprehensive clinical, biochemical, radiological, management, and genetic details of FRTS patients managed between 2010 and 2023 were collected and analyzed. RESULTS FRTS probands had mutations (eight novel) in six genes [CLCN5 (n = 4), SLC2A2 (n = 2), GATM, EHHADH, HNF4A, and OCRL (1 each)]. Among 15 FRTS patients (11 families), rickets/osteomalacia was the most common (n = 14) presentation with wide inter- and intra-familial phenotypic variability. Delayed diagnosis (median: 8.8 years), initial misdiagnosis (8/11 probands), and syndrome-specific discriminatory features (8/11 probands) were commonly seen. Hypophosphatemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, normal parathyroid hormone (median: 36 pg/ml), high-normal/elevated 1,25(OH)2D (median: 152 pg/ml), hypercalciuria (median spot urinary calcium to creatinine ratio: 0.32), and variable proximal tubular dysfunction(s) were observed. Elevated C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 in two probands was misleading, till the genetic diagnosis was reached. Novel observations in our FRTS cohort were preserved renal function (till sixth decade) and enthesopathy in FRTS1 and FRTS3 families, respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings underscore frequent under- and misdiagnosis of FRTS; hence, a high index of suspicion for FRTS in phosphopenic rickets/osteomalacia, with early consideration of genetic testing is essential to ensure timely diagnosis of FRTS. The novel variants and phenotypic manifestations described here expand the disease spectrum of FRTS.

Abstract
Syndromes of inherited fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) excess encompass a wide spectrum that includes X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH), autosomal dominant and recessive forms of rickets as well as various syndromic conditions namely fibrous dysplasia/McCune Albright syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, Jansen's chondrodysplasia and cutaneous skeletal hypophosphataemia syndrome. A careful attention to patient symptomatology, family history and clinical features, supported by appropriate laboratory tests will help in making a diagnosis. A genetic screen may be done to confirm the diagnosis. While phosphate supplements and calcitriol continue to be the cornerstone of treatment, in recent times burosumab, the monoclonal antibody against FGF-23 has been approved for the treatment of children and adults with XLH. While health-related outcomes may be improved by ensuring adherence and compliance to prescribed treatment with a smooth transition to adult care, bony deformities may persist in some, and this would warrant surgical correction.

Abstract
CONTEXT The assessment of phosphate homeostasis in children is challenging due to the marked changes in laboratory parameters during growth and development, and the lack of adequate reference values. OBJECTIVE To develop Lambda-Mu-Sigma (LMS)-based continuous pediatric reference percentiles for 7 key laboratory parameters of phosphate homeostasis. METHODS This cross-sectional, single-center study, the HAnnover Reference values for Pediatrics (HARP) study, included 455 children aged 0.1-18 years (254 boys) from outpatient hospital clinics and a secondary school program. Main outcome measures were LMS-based continuous reference percentiles for serum phosphate, plasma intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23), and its cofactor soluble Klotho (sKlotho), tubular maximum phosphate reabsorption per glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR), fractional tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP), and urinary calcium/creatinine (Ca/Crea) and phosphate/creatinine (Pi/Crea) ratios. RESULTS LMS-based percentiles and z-scores were established for 7 key laboratory parameters of phosphate homeostasis, which were all found to be age-dependent. Serum phosphate, TmP/GFR, and sKlotho associated with sex. Serum phosphate, TmP/GFR, and urinary Ca/Crea and Pi/Crea levels were highest in infancy and declined until age 18 years, while phosphate and TmP/GFR values reached adult levels earlier in girls compared to boys. iFGF23 concentrations are highest in infancy and fall to a stable plateau by 4 years of age, while sKlotho peaks during adolescence. CONCLUSION This is the first report of LMS-based continuous pediatric reference percentiles for key laboratory parameters of phosphate homeostasis that allow calculation of standardized patient z-scores to facilitate test result interpretation in children and adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fanconi-Bickel syndrome (FBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired glucose and galactose utilization as well as proximal renal tubular dysfunction. METHODS Clinical, biochemical, genetic, treatment, and follow-up data for 11 pediatric patients with FBS were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS Hepatomegaly (10/11), short stature (10/11) and hypophosphataemic rickets (7/11) were the most common initial symptoms. At diagnosis, all patients had decreased fasting blood glucose (FBG), plasma bicarbonate (HCO3-) and serum phosphorus, as well as elevated liver transaminases, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and proximal renal tubular dysfunction. Two infant patients were misdiagnosed with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus. After therapy with uncooked cornstarch and conventional rickets treatment, remission of hepatomegaly was observed in all patients, with significant improvements in pre-prandial blood glucose, liver transaminases, triglyceride, plasma HCO3- and AKP (p < 0.05). At the last follow-up, 5/7 patients with elevated AKP had nephrocalcinosis. The mean height standard deviation score (Ht SDS) of eight patients with regular treatment increased from - 4.1 to -3.5 (p = 0.02). Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) was administered to 4/9 patients, but their Ht SDS did not improve significantly (p = 0.13). Fourteen variants of the SLC2A2 gene were identified, with six being novel, among which one was recurrent: c.1217T > G (p.L406R) (allele frequency: 4/22, 18%). Patients with biallelic missense variants showed milder metabolic acidosis than those with null variants. Two of five patients from nonconsanguineous families with rare homozygous variations showed 5.3 Mb and 36.6 Mb of homozygosity surrounding the variants, respectively; a region of homozygosity (ROH) involving the entire chromosome 3 covering the SLC2A2 gene, suggesting uniparental disomy 3, was detected in one patient. CONCLUSIONS Early diagnosis of FBS is difficult due to the heterogeneity of initial symptoms. Although short stature is a major issue of treatment for FBS, rhGH is not recommended in FBS patients who have normal GH stimulation tests. Patients with biallelic null variants may require alkali supplementation since urine bicarbonate loss is genetically related. ROH is a mechanism for rare homozygous variants of FBS in nonconsanguineous families.

Kassianides X, Bhandari S. The differential effect of modern intravenous iron on fibroblast growth factor 23 and phosphate in non-dialysis dependent CKD - the exploratory randomized controlled double-blind ExplorIRON-CKD study. BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:54.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous iron is commonly used in patients with non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD). Modern intravenous iron compounds (e.g. ferric derisomaltose (FDI), ferric carboxymaltose (FCM)) are increasingly utilized with similar efficacy. A differential effect in terms of hypophosphatemia has been noted following administration of FCM, which may be related to fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). This study was designed to examine the comparative effects of FDI and FCM on FGF23, phosphate and other markers of bone turnover. METHODS The single-center double-blind randomized controlled trial "Iron and Phosphaturia - ExplorIRON-CKD" primarily assessed the effects of FCM and FDI on intact FGF23 and phosphate, whilst also studying the impact on vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and phosphaturia. Bone markers including alkaline phosphatase, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide and carboxy-terminal collagen cross-linked telopeptide were monitored. Non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients (stage 3a-5) with iron deficiency with/without anemia (serum ferritin < 200 µg/L or transferrin saturation = 20% and serum ferritin 200-299 µg/L) were randomized to receive FDI or FCM in a 1:1 ratio. At baseline 1000 mg of intravenous iron was administered followed by 500-1000 mg at 1 month to achieve replenishment. Measurements were performed at baseline, 1-2 days following iron administration, 2 weeks, 1 month (second iron administration), 1-2 days following second administration, 2 months and 3 months following initial infusion. RESULTS Twenty-six patients participated in the trial; 14 randomized to FDI and 12 to FCM. Intact FGF23 increased following administration of iron, and the increase was significantly higher with FCM compared to FDI (Baseline to 1-2 days following 1st administration: FDI: 3.0 (IQR: - 15.1 - 13.8) % vs. FCM: 146.1 (IQR: 108.1-203.1) %; p < 0.001 and Baseline to 1-2 days following 2nd administration: FDI: 3.2 (IQR: - 3.5 - 25.4) % vs. FCM: 235.1 (138.5-434.6) %; p = 0.001). Phosphate levels decreased in the FCM group, causing a significant difference versus FDI 2 weeks following administration of the first dose. A significantly greater decrease in 1,25 (OH)2 Vitamin D was noted with FCM. Several markers of bone turnover significantly changed following administration of FCM but not FDI. CONCLUSIONS The study suggests a differential effect on FGF23 following administration of FCM compared to FDI in non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients, similar to other patient groups. This may lead to changes consistent with hypovitaminosis D and alterations in bone turnover with potential clinical consequences. Further definitive studies are required to understand these differences of intravenous iron compounds.

Abstract
Phosphate is essential for bone metabolism and for energy provision. Phosphate homeostasis is achieved by hormonal feedback mechanisms, predominantly parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor 23 and calcitriol, with renal phosphate absorption taking on a special role. Although even large deviations from the serum normal range are rarely symptomatic, the health consequences can be significant. Essentially, the clinically relevant disturbances in phosphate balance can be attributed to three mechanisms: 1. shifts of phosphate between the extracellular space and the cytosol; 2. inadequate phosphate reabsorption in the kidney; 3. decreased intestinal phosphate absorption. Knowledge of physiology enables diagnosis and therapy of phosphate disorders.
