Osteoporos Int 2024:10.1007/s00198-024-07095-4. [PMID: 39028421 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-024-07095-4] [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: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
We assessed multiple components of muscle function in ten adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) receiving burosumab treatment. Lower limb power (+ 9%), short physical performance battery (SPPB) score (+ 1.2 points), and physical activity (+ 65%) increased following 6 months of treatment, and hand grip increased (+ 10%) between 6 and 12 months of treatment. PURPOSE X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disorder of phosphate metabolism. Burosumab is a monoclonal antibody treatment shown to improve phosphate homeostasis and improve symptoms as well as fracture healing when used as a therapy for XLH in adults. However, little is known about its effects on the large deficits in multiple components of physical function previously reported in XLH. METHODS Ten adults (6 females, age 41.1 ± 15.7 y) were recruited from specialist centres in London and Bristol. During clinical visits for initial burosumab treatment and at 6-month and 12-month follow-up, physical function, and physical activity (PA) assessments were performed. In detail, lower limb power was assessed by mechanography via a countermovement jump, mobility by short physical performance battery (SPPB), functional capacity by 6-min walk test (6MWT), upper limb strength by hand grip dynamometry, and PA via an International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Differences between baseline and 6-month follow-up, and in a subset of 5 patients between 6- and 12-month follow-up, were assessed. RESULTS Lower limb power increased by 9% (P = 0.049) from baseline to 6 months, as did SPPB score (+ 1.2 points, P = 0.033) and total PA (+ 65%, P = 0.046) although hand grip and 6MWT did not differ. Only for hand grip was a significant improvement (+ 10%, P = 0.023) seen between 6 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Burosumab treatment is associated with improved lower limb function and mobility at 6 months, with improvement in hand grip strength at 12 months. Future studies should explore the underlying mechanisms and describe on function and other patient outcomes.

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
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 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.

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.

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.

Although conventional therapy for XLH was introduced approximately 4 decades ago, the temporary replacement of oral phosphate salts and activated vitamin D cannot completely control chronic hypophosphatemia, leaving patients with incomplete healing and residual skeletal deformity as well as at risk of endocrine abnormalities and adverse drug reactions. However, understanding the pathophysiology has led to the development of a targeted therapy, burosumab, a fibroblast growth factor-23 inhibitor that was recently approved in Korea for the treatment of XLH. This review provides insight into the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and recommended follow-up for a typical case of XLH and reviews its pathophysiology.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare disease of elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) production that leads to hypophosphatemia and impaired mineralization of bone and teeth. The clinical manifestations of XLH include a high prevalence of dental abscesses and periodontal disease, likely driven by poorly formed structures of the dentoalveolar complex, including the alveolar bone, cementum, dentin, and periodontal ligament. Our previous studies have demonstrated that sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) treatment improves phosphate homeostasis, and increases long bone mass, strength, and mineralization in the Hyp mouse model of XLH. In the current study, we investigated whether Scl-Ab impacts the dentoalveolar structures of Hyp mice. Male and female wild-type and Hyp littermates were injected with 25 mg·kg-1 of vehicle or Scl-Ab twice weekly beginning at 12 weeks of age and euthanized at 20 weeks of age. Scl-Ab increased alveolar bone mass in both male and female mice and alveolar tissue mineral density in the male mice. The positive effects of Scl-Ab were consistent with an increase in the fraction of active (nonphosphorylated) β-catenin, dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) and osteopontin stained alveolar osteocytes. Scl-Ab had no effect on the mass and mineralization of dentin, enamel, acellular or cellular cementum. There was a nonsignificant trend toward increased periodontal ligament (PDL) attachment fraction within the Hyp mice. Additional PDL fiber structural parameters were not affected by Scl-Ab. The current study demonstrates that Scl-Ab can improve alveolar bone in adult Hyp mice.

Abstract
Background Chronic idiopathic hypophosphatemia (CIH) induced by X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets or tumor-induced osteomalacia is a rare inherited or acquired disorder. However, due to its rarity, little is known about the epidemiology and natural course of CIH. Therefore, we aimed to identify the prevalence and long-term health outcomes of CIH patients. Methods Using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment claims database, we evaluated the incidence of hypophosphatemia initially diagnosed from 2003 to 2018. After excluding secondary conditions that could change serum phosphorus levels, we identified 154 patients (76 men and 78 women) with non-secondary and non-renal hypophosphatemia. These hypophosphatemic patients were compared at a ratio of 1:10 with age-, sex-, and index-year-matched controls (n = 1,540). Results In the distribution of age at diagnosis, a large peak was observed in patients aged 1-4 years and small peaks were observed in ages from 40-70 years. The age-standardized incidence rate showed non-statistically significant trend from 0.24 per 1,000,000 persons in 2003 to 0.30 in 2018. Hypophosphatemic patients had a higher risk of any complication (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.67-2.69) including cardiovascular outcomes, chronic kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, osteoporotic fractures, periodontitis, and depression. Hypophosphatemic patients also had higher risks of mortality and hospitalization than the controls (aHR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.83-5.81; and aHR, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.97-3.16, respectively). Conclusion This first nationwide study of CIH in South Korea found a bimodal age distribution and no sex differences among patients. Hypophosphatemic patients had higher risks of complications, mortality, and hospitalization compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

Patient-reported outcomes measures of X-linked hypophosphataemia participants: findings from a prospective cohort study in the UK. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2023; 18:26. [PMID: 36755338 PMCID: PMC9906829 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-023-02620-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare genetic condition passed on through the X chromosome which causes multiple symptoms including weakened teeth, bones, and muscles. Due to the rarity of the condition, little is known about the health outcomes as reported by people with the disease. The objectives of this study were threefold: to characterise key patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in adults with XLH, to identify clusters of symptom-severity groups based on PROMs, and to analyse the longitudinal progression of available PROMs. METHODS Data from 48 participants from the Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases cohort Study (RUDY) was used to analyse both cross-sectional and longitudinal patient-reported outcomes. We analysed data for health-related quality of life (HRQL): EuroQol 5 dimensions-5 levels (EQ-5D-5L), Short-form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS), and SF-36 Mental Component Score (MCS), sleep: Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness scale (ESS), fatigue: Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Functional assessment of chronic illness therapy-fatigue (FACIT-F), pain: Short form McGill pain questionnaire version 2 (SF-MPQ-2) and PainDETECT, and mental well-being: Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) anxiety and depression. Summary statistics, tests of mean differences, mixed-effects models, and cluster analysis were used to describe and examine the various health dimensions of individuals with XLH. RESULTS Overall mean scores were EQ-5D-5L = 0.65, SF-36-PCS = 32.7, and SF-36-MCS = 48.4 for HRQL, ESS = 5.9 and PSQI = 8.9 for sleep, FSS = 32.8 and FACIT-F = 104.4 for fatigue, SF-MPQ-2 = 1.9 for pain, and HADS-depression = 4.7 and HADS-anxiety = 6.2 for mental well-being. 7% reported neuropathic pain (PainDETECT). Whilst many adults with XLH reported good outcomes, extreme or severe problems were reported across all outcomes. Cluster analysis identified that adults with XLH could be divided into two distinct groups, one reporting worse (35.3%) and the other better outcomes (64.7%) (less pain, fatigue, depression, and higher levels of sleep). Longitudinal analysis showed that FACIT-F and HADS-anxiety scores worsened slightly over two years with statistically significant (p < 0.05) time coefficients (b = - 2.135 and b = 0.314, respectively). CONCLUSION Although about two thirds of adult participants of the RUDY cohort with XLH report good health outcomes, for a considerable third much worse outcomes are reported. More research is needed to examine why some experience good and others poor health outcomes and the characteristics which identify them.

Abstract
X-linked dominant hypophosphatemia (XLH), the most common form of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia, is caused by loss-of-function phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked gene (PHEX) variants. However, synonymous PHEX variants are rare in XLH. We report a 7-year-old boy with hypophosphatemia, short stature, and lower limb deformity. Whole-exome sequencing, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify the pathogenicity of the variant. A novel synonymous PHEX variant (NM_000444.4:c.1530 C>T, p.Arg510Arg) was detected in the proband. Further analysis revealed a 58-bp deletion at the 5' site of exon 14 during splicing. This study extends the genetic spectrum of XLH and confirms the rarity and significance of synonymous PHEX variants.

Abstract
Background: X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare, inherited, phosphate-wasting disorder that elevates fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), causing renal phosphate-wasting and impaired active vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) synthesis. Disease characteristics include rickets, osteomalacia, odontomalacia, and short stature. Historically, treatment has been oral phosphate and 1,25(OH)2D supplements. However, these treatments do not correct the primary pathogenic mechanism or treat all symptoms and can be associated with adverse effects. Burosumab is a recombinant human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody against FGF23, approved for treating XLH in several geographical regions, including Europe and Israel. Burosumab restores normal serum phosphate levels, minimising the clinical consequences of XLH. Safety data on long-term treatment with burosumab are lacking owing to the rarity of XLH. This post-authorisation safety study (PASS) aims to evaluate the safety outcomes in patients aged >1 year. Methods: The PASS is a 10-year retrospective and prospective cohort study utilising data from the International XLH Registry (NCT03193476), which includes standard diagnostic and monitoring practice data at participating centres. The PASS aims to evaluate frequency and severity of safety outcomes, frequency and outcomes of pregnancies in female patients, and safety outcomes in patients with mild to moderate kidney disease at baseline, in children, adolescents and adults treated with burosumab for XLH. It is expected that there will be at least 400 patients who will be administered burosumab. Results: Data collection started on 24 April 2019. The expected date of the final study report is 31 December 2028, with two interim reports. Conclusion: This PASS will provide data on the long-term safety of burosumab treatment for XLH patients and describe safety outcomes for patients receiving burosumab contrasted with those patients receiving other XLH treatments, to help inform the future management of XLH patients. The PASS will be the largest real-world safety study of burosumab. Registry identification: The International XLH Registry is registered with clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03193476 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03193476), and the PASS is registered with the European Union electronic Register of Post-Authorisation Studies as EUPAS32190 (http://www.encepp.eu/encepp/viewResource.htm?id=32191).

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.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common form of inherited disorders that are characterized by renal phosphate wasting, but it is a rare chronic disease. XLH presents in multisystemic organs, not only in childhood, but also in adulthood. Multidisciplinary team management is necessary for the care of patients with XLH. Although XLH has often been perceived as a childhood disease, recent studies have demonstrated that it is a long-term and progressive disease throughout adulthood. In the past 20 years, the importance of the transition from pediatric care to adult care for patient outcomes in adulthood in many pediatric onset diseases has been increasingly recognized. This review describes transitional care and team management for patients with XLH.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is the most frequent cause of hypophosphataemia-associated rickets of genetic origin and is associated with high levels of the phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). In addition to rickets and osteomalacia, patients with XLH have a heavy disease burden with enthesopathies, osteoarthritis, pseudofractures and dental complications, all of which contribute to reduced quality of life. This Consensus Statement presents the outcomes of a working group of the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases, and provides robust clinical evidence on management in XLH, with an emphasis on patients' experiences and needs. During growth, conventional treatment with phosphate supplements and active vitamin D metabolites (such as calcitriol) improves growth, ameliorates leg deformities and dental manifestations, and reduces pain. The continuation of conventional treatment in symptom-free adults is still debated. A novel therapeutic approach is the monoclonal anti-FGF23 antibody burosumab. Although promising, further studies are required to clarify its long-term efficacy, particularly in adults. Given the diversity of symptoms and complications, an interdisciplinary approach to management is of paramount importance. The focus of treatment should be not only on the physical manifestations and challenges associated with XLH and other FGF23-mediated hypophosphataemia syndromes, but also on the major psychological and social impact of the disease.

Jandhyala R. Concordance between the schedule for the evaluation of individual quality of life-direct weighting (SEIQoL-DW) and the EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D) measures of quality of life outcomes in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia. Orphanet J Rare Dis 2022; 17:81. [PMID: 35197083 PMCID: PMC8864593 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-022-02250-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 02/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate measurement of any constructs in clinical studies is of critical importance, especially if the adoption of an intervention relies on detecting a significant treatment effect where one exists. Under Neutral theory, the amount of relevant and irrelevant indicators selected to operationalise the construct contribute equally to the accuracy of the observation. The Neutral or accurate observation is achieved by observing all relevant indicators only. Generic QoL instruments such as EQ-5D are increasingly being accepted as imprecise, especially in rare diseases, based on the relevance of their indicators. QoL is a construct that embodies a patient's subjectivity, individuality, and local circumstances at measurement. SEIQoL-DW is an instrument designed to respect these characteristics of QoL through eliciting indicators or cues directly from the subject along with the proportion of the overall QoL they contribute. EQ-5D and SEIQoL can therefore be considered as being at opposing ends of accuracy in QoL measurement. XLH is a hereditary, progressive, rare disease characterised by phosphate wasting, affecting both children and adults and impacting their QoL. The purpose of this study was to observe if any change in QoL of adult XLH patients were detectable using EQ-5D, SEIQoL eliciting new cues at each visit, and SEIQoL administering baseline cues overall visits (thereby silencing its time-dependency) versus baseline over 12 months. In addition, any association between the three sets of observations was explored. RESULTS All quality of life scores were observed to decrease from baseline by 13.36%, 7.32% and 2.7% based on SEIQoLvisit_cues, SEIQoLbaseline_cues, and EQ-5D assessments, respectively. The decrease in the quality of life scores was only statistically significant (p = 0.037) for SEIQoLvisit_cues. Beyond the baseline visit, the only highly positive and statistically significant pairwise association was between SEIQoLvisit_cues and SEIQoLbaseline_cues at M6 (ρ = 0.782, P value < 0.05) and M9 (ρ = 0.879, P value < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS EQ-5D and SEIQoLbaseline_cues failed to detect the same statistically significant decrease in QoL observed by SEIQoLvisit_cues. Both sets of SEIQoL observations were more closely associated with each other than with EQ-5D. Observing constructs such as QoL in rare diseases benefit from a Neutrality in indicator selection and respecting variation in dominance of various indicators over time.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a dominant disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the PHEX gene, affects both sexes of all ages and results in elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and below-normal serum phosphate. In XLH, rickets, osteomalacia, short stature, and lower limb deformity may be present with muscle pain and/or weakness/fatigue, bone pain, joint pain/stiffness, hearing difficulty, enthesopathy, osteoarthritis, and dental abscesses. Invitae and Ultragenyx collaborated to provide a no-charge sponsored testing program using a 13-gene next-generation sequencing panel to confirm clinical XLH or aid diagnosis of suspected XLH/other genetic hypophosphatemia. Individuals aged ≥6 months with clinical XLH or suspected genetic hypophosphatemia were eligible. Of 831 unrelated individuals tested between February 2019 and June 2020 in this cross-sectional study, 519 (62.5%) individuals had a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in PHEX (PHEX-positive). Among the 312 PHEX-negative individuals, 38 received molecular diagnoses in other genes, including ALPL, CYP27B1, ENPP1, and FGF23; the remaining 274 did not have a molecular diagnosis. Among 319 patients with a provider-reported clinical diagnosis of XLH, 88.7% (n = 283) had a reportable PHEX variant; 81.5% (n = 260) were PHEX-positive. The most common variant among PHEX-positive individuals was an allele with both the gain of exons 13-15 and c.*231A>G (3'UTR variant) (n = 66/519). Importantly, over 80% of copy number variants would have been missed by traditional microarray analysis. A positive molecular diagnosis in 41 probands (4.9%; 29 PHEX positive, 12 non-PHEX positive) resulted in at least one family member receiving family testing. Additional clinical or family member information resulted in variant(s) of uncertain significance (VUS) reclassification to pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) in 48 individuals, highlighting the importance of segregation and clinical data. In one of the largest XLH genetic studies to date, 65 novel PHEX variants were identified and a high XLH diagnostic yield demonstrated broad insight into the genetic basis of XLH. © 2021 The Authors.

Abstract
In recent years, new therapies for the treatment of rare pediatric bone disorders have emerged, guided by an increasing understanding of the genetic and molecular etiology of these diseases. Herein, we review three such disorders, impacted by debilitating deficits in bone mineralization or cartilage ossification, as well as the novel disease-modifying drugs that are now available to treat these conditions. Specifically, we discuss asfotase alfa, burosumab-twza, and vosoritide, for the treatment of hypophosphatasia, X-linked hypophosphatemia and achondroplasia, respectively. For each skeletal disorder, an overview of the clinical phenotype and natural history of disease is provided, along with a discussion of the clinical pharmacology, mechanism of action and FDA indication for the relevant medication. In each case, a brief review of clinical trial data supporting drug development for each medication is provided. Additionally, guidance as to drug dosing and long-term monitoring of adverse events and pediatric efficacy is presented, to aid the clinician seeking to utilize these novel therapies in their practice, or to become familiar with the healthcare expectations for children receiving these medications through specialized multidisciplinary clinics. The availability of these targeted therapies now significantly augments treatment options for conditions in which past therapy has relied upon less specific, symptomatic medical and orthopedic care.

Abstract
Background Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare, genetic syndrome with multisystem involvement. It causes skeletal abnormalities, painful enthesopathies, increased risk of fracture, and short stature; leading to a substantial burden of disease, disability, and worsening of quality of life. To improve health conditions of people living with this disease, it is essential to know its prevalence which is currently unknown in Colombia. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of hypophosphatemic rickets in Colombia by using a mathematical model and national statistic records. Methods We executed a model to estimate probabilities of transitions between health, disease, and death states (Markov chains). The model was fed with international prevalences taken from original studies (systematic review) and administrative records' data from SISPRO (a national health information system) using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) E833 code, vital statistics, and census data. World Health Organization's (WHO) DISMOD II software was used to develop the model. Findings The estimated overall prevalence of hypophosphatemic rickets in Colombia in 2018 was 2·03 cases per 100 000 people (981 affected people), with a sensitive range of 1·97 to 2·09. The estimated prevalence by sex was 2·61 (645 people) and 1·43 (336 people) cases per 100 000 women and men, respectively. Interpretation Our overall estimated prevalence shows consistency with original international data. This is the first prevalence estimation of hypophosphatemic rickets in Colombia and will be relevant to support public health decisions for rare diseases and to provide a pre-test probability framework in clinical practice. DISMOD II and the model are useful tools to estimate the prevalence of rare and orphan diseases, when probabilistic studies cannot be carried out. There are limited bibliographic resources worldwide reporting prevalence values supported by original studies. Our study can be used as a cost-effective methodology reference in this regard, especially for Latin America. Funding Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, as a donation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the natural history of rare bone and mineral conditions is essential for improving clinical practice and the development of new diagnostics and therapeutics. Recruitment and long-term participation in registries are key challenges for researchers. METHODS To understand the user needs, the European Reference Network on Rare Bone Diseases (ERN BOND) and European Patient Advocacy Groups developed and implemented a multinational survey about the patient's preferred database content and functionality through an iterative consensus process. The survey was disseminated by national and international patient groups and healthcare professionals. The findings were analysed using descriptive statistics and multivariate regression. RESULTS There were 493 eligible responses from 378 adults, 15 children and 100 parents, guardians or carers (PGC) across 22 rare bone and mineral conditions. Osteogenesis imperfecta constituted 53.4% of responses. Contents related to improving treatment and medical services scored the highest and contents about anxiety and socializing scored less highly. Additional content was recommended by 205 respondents. Respondents preferred data entry by their Healthcare Provider (HCP). However, less than 50% of adults received followup from their specialist HCP at least annually and 29% were followed up as needed. CONCLUSIONS This survey of individuals, their family, guardians and carers has prioritised the key components for an EU-based rare bone and mineral condition research database. The survey highlights issues around collecting psychosocial impacts as well as measures of HCP trust. The survey demonstrated that using only specialist centre visits for data collection, while preferred by patients, will miss a substantial number of individuals, limiting generalisability. Combined HCP and patient platforms will be required to collect representative and complete natural history data for this patient group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES X-Linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLH) is a rare multi-systemic disease of mineral homeostasis that has a prominent skeletal phenotype. The aim of this study was to describe additional comorbidities in XLH patients compared with general population controls. METHODS The Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) GOLD was used to identify a cohort of XLH patients (1995-2016), along with a non-XLH cohort matched (1 : 4) on age, sex and GP practice. Using the CALIBER portal, phenotyping algorithms were used to identify the first diagnosis (and associated age) of 273 comorbid conditions during patient follow-up. Fifteen major disease categories were used and the proportion of patients having ≥1 diagnosis was compared between cohorts for each category and condition. Main analyses were repeated according to the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). RESULTS There were 64 and 256 patients in the XLH and non-XLH cohorts, respectively. There was increased prevalence of endocrine [OR 3.46 (95% CI: 1.44, 8.31)] and neurological [OR 3.01 (95% CI: 1.41, 6.44)] disorders among XLH patients. Across all specific comorbidities, four were at least twice as likely to be present in XLH cases, but only depression met the Bonferroni threshold: OR 2.95 (95% CI: 1.47, 5.92). Distribution of IMD among XLH cases indicated greater deprivation than the general population. CONCLUSION We describe a higher risk of mental illness in XLH patients compared with matched controls, and greater than expected deprivation. These findings may have implications for clinical practice guidelines and decisions around health and social care provision for these patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a lifelong condition. Despite the mounting clinical evidence highlighting the long-term multi-organ sequelae of chronic phosphate wasting and consequent hypophosphatemia over the lifetime and the morbidities associated with adult age, XLH is still perceived as a paediatric disease. INTRODUCTION Children who have XLH need to transition from paediatric to adult healthcare as young adults. While there is general agreement that all affected children should be treated (if the administration and tolerability of therapy can be adequately monitored), there is a lack of consensus regarding therapy in adults. METHODS To provide guidance in both diagnosis and treatment of adult XLH patients and promote better provision of care for this potentially underserved group of patients, we review the available clinical evidence and discuss the current challenges underlying the transition from childhood to adulthood care to develop appropriate management and follow-up patterns in adult XLH patients. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Such a multi-systemic lifelong disease would demand that the multidisciplinary approach, successfully experienced in children, could be transitioned to adulthood care with an integration of specialized sub-disciplines to efficiently control musculoskeletal symptoms while optimizing patients' QoL. Overall, it would be desirable that transition to adulthood care could be a responsibility shared by the paediatric and adult XLH teams. Pharmacological management should require an adequate balance between the benefits derived from the treatment itself with complicated and long-term monitoring and the potential risks, as they may differ across age strata.

Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare, acquired condition of phosphate wasting due to phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors. Because the incidence and prevalence of TIO is unknown, we conducted an observational cohort study using national Danish health registers for the period 2008 to 2018 to obtain such information. The study also aimed to describe the demographics of the TIO population and the prognosis. The operational definition was based on hypophosphatemia or adult osteomalacia diagnoses, combined with prescriptions used in the initial management and procedures consistent with advanced imaging used for locating tumors. The incidence of TIO in Denmark was found to be below 0.13 per 100,000 person years for the total population of the country and 0.10 per 100,000 in adult-onset disease. The prevalence of TIO was estimated to be no more than 0.70 per 100,000 persons for the total population and 0.43 per 100,000 in adults. In 2018, there were a maximum of nine new cases of TIO in Danish adults. Mortality was low but few patients fulfilled the protocol cure criterion during the observation period. TIO has no ICD-10 code and limitations to the study include lack of information on serum biochemistry and on the use of phosphate supplements. Strengths include the use of long-term longitudinal, national hospital and prescription data from a country with universal healthcare. Given the very small patient population with TIO and the known delay to diagnosis and cure, management of patients with suspected TIO should be centralized.

Abstract
A 7-year-old girl without a significant previous medical history was diagnosed with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) due to a rare, most likely pathogenic, PHEX gene variant after a 4-year delayed diagnosis due to mild clinical presentation. At 2 years of age, her intoeing and femoral bowing were attributed to physiologic bowing and borderline vitamin D sufficiency, despite phosphorus not being measured. Hypophosphatemia was eventually detected after incomplete improvement of bowing and leg length discrepancy with suboptimal linear growth. This rare PHEX variant (c.1949T>C, p.Leu650Pro) further supported the clinical diagnosis of XLHR. Treatment with burosumab (an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody) normalised phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels and improved her bowing. The diverse phenotypic presentation of this variant can result in delayed diagnosis and highlights the importance of prompt assessment of phosphorus levels in patients with skeletal deformities to ensure timely recognition and treatment.

[PMID: 33749833 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM To describe two patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia presenting with spontaneous signs of pulpal necrosis in multiple intact teeth. The presentation and management are discussed, along with the diagnostic and endodontic treatment challenges. SUMMARY Two young male patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia were referred to the Department of Restorative Dentistry at the Edinburgh Dental Institute, UK for management of dental infection. Both patients were referred due to their unusual clinical presentation and abnormal root canal morphology. They subsequently presented on multiple occasions with pain or sinus tracts over a 3- and 5-year period whilst under care. Clinical examination revealed intact teeth with buccal swellings, draining buccal sinuses and negative responses to pulp sensibility testing. Radiographic examination, generally consisting of periapical radiographs, revealed intact teeth with a range of unusual morphological features including large pulp chambers, wide canals, short roots and open apices, all with associated periapical radiolucencies. Due to the unusual morphology, some teeth required apexification with a mineral trioxide aggregate plug. Patient 1 underwent root canal treatment on teeth 21 and 43 over a 3-year period. Patient 2 underwent root canal treatment on 10 permanent teeth over a 5-year period. At follow-up, both patients were asymptomatic and clinically the teeth had no signs of infection or periapical inflammation. Radiographic examination confirmed complete resolution of the apical radiolucencies on 11 out of 12 teeth. Favourable outcomes have been demonstrated up to a follow-up of 4.5 years. KEY LEARNING POINTS Patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia may present with 'spontaneous' signs of pulp necrosis in multiple teeth in the absence of caries and trauma posing a diagnostic challenge. Abnormal morphological features, including wide canals and open apices, may present challenges during root canal treatment. Outcomes demonstrate that an appropriate root canal treatment protocol, including the application of apexification procedures, may be implemented to successfully manage such cases.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common genetic form of hypophosphatemic rickets and osteomalacia. In this disease, mutations in the PHEX gene lead to elevated levels of the hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), resulting in renal phosphate wasting and impaired skeletal and dental mineralization. Recently, international guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of this condition have been published. However, more specific recommendations are needed to provide guidance at the national level, considering resource availability and health economic aspects. A national multidisciplinary group of Belgian experts convened to discuss translation of international best available evidence into locally feasible consensus recommendations. Patients with XLH may present to a wide array of primary, secondary and tertiary care physicians, among whom awareness of the disease should be raised. XLH has a very broad differential-diagnosis for which clinical features, biochemical and genetic testing in centers of expertise are recommended. Optimal care requires a multidisciplinary approach, guided by an expert in metabolic bone diseases and involving (according to the individual patient's needs) pediatric and adult medical specialties and paramedical caregivers, including but not limited to general practitioners, dentists, radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. In children with severe or refractory symptoms, FGF23 inhibition using burosumab may provide superior outcomes compared to conventional medical therapy with phosphate supplements and active vitamin D analogues. Burosumab has also demonstrated promising results in adults on certain clinical outcomes such as pseudofractures. In summary, this work outlines recommendations for clinicians and policymakers, with a vision for improving the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape for XLH patients in Belgium.

Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab 2021; 12:20420188211001150. [PMID: 33796255 PMCID: PMC7970173 DOI: 10.1177/20420188211001150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Burosumab, a recombinant anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody, was recently introduced as a treatment for X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). Burosumab normalizes blood phosphate levels, thereby healing rickets, decreasing leg bowing, and reducing pain. We aimed to explore the body composition and cardiometabolic health of pediatric patients with XLH treated with burosumab. METHODS This observational real-life study was conducted on growing children and adolescents. The outcome measures included changes in sex- and age-adjusted anthropometric and body composition parameters [fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM), muscle-to-fat ratio (MFR)], blood pressure, laboratory evaluation, and radiographic rickets severity [Thacher Rickets Severity Score (TRSS)]. Body composition was assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Percentiles for FFM% and ASMM% were calculated according to BIA pediatric reference curves. The delta variable was calculated as the variable at 12 months minus the variable at baseline. RESULTS A total of 15 pediatric patients with XLH are treated in our clinic; included in the analyses were 7 children and adolescents (3 males, mean age 8.7 ± 3.2 years) with XLH without comorbidities. Baseline BIA revealed an unfavorable physique, with increased body fat percentage in five patients and decreased muscle mass in six. Indices of lean body mass significantly increased after 6 and 12 months of treatment: FFM(kg) (p = 0.001, p = 0.046, respectively) and ASMM(kg) (p = 0.012, p = 0.034, respectively), without any significant change in FM(kg). The percentile of ASMM% increased significantly after 6 months of treatment (p = 0.006) and stabilized thereafter. TRSS improved significantly after 12 months of therapy (p = 0.005). Age was positively correlated with delta TRSS (r = 0.814, p = 0.026), and delta TRSS was negatively correlated with delta MFR (r = -0.826, p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS There was a heretofore unrecognized improvement in body composition of growing children and adolescents with XLH who were treated with burosumab. These findings highlight the need to initiate burosumab treatment at a younger age when rickets is less severe.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is the commonest inherited form of rickets. It is caused by an impaired regulation of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) due to a PHEX gene mutation, which leads to reduced tubular reabsorption of phosphate and renal 1α-hydroxylase activity and increased renal 24-hydroxylase activity. Hypophosphatemia associated with renal phosphate wasting, normal serum levels of calcium, parathyroid hormone, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D represents the main biochemical sign in affected patients. Patients with XLH show rickets and osteomalacia, severe deformities of the lower limbs, bone and muscular pain, stunted growth, and reduced quality of life. However, XLH is a multisystemic disorder requiring multidisciplinary approaches in specialized subdisciplines. Severe complications may occur in patients with XLH including craniosynostosis, hearing loss, progressive bone deformities, dental and periodontal recurrent lesions, and psychosocial distress. Moreover, long-term conventional treatment with active vitamin D metabolites and oral inorganic phosphate salts may cause endocrinological complications such as secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, and adverse events in kidney as hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and nephrolithiasis. However, conventional treatment does not improve phosphate metabolism and it shows poor and slow effects in improving rickets lesions and linear growth. Recently, some trials of treatment with recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets FGF23 (burosumab) showed significant improvement of serum phosphate concentration and renal tubular reabsorption of phosphate that were associated with a rapid healing of radiologic signs of rickets, reduced muscular and osteoarticular pain, and improved physical function, being more effective for the treatment of patients with XLH in comparison with conventional therapy. Therefore, a global management of patients with XLH is strongly recommended and patients should be seen regularly by a multidisciplinary team of experts.

Abstract
Objectives: To assess the diagnostic potential of bidirectional axial transmission (BDAT) ultrasound, and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH, OMIM #307800), a rare genetic disorder of phosphate metabolism caused by mutations in the PHEX gene. Methods: BDAT bone ultrasound was performed at the non-dominant distal radius (33% relative to distal head) and the central left tibia (50%) in eight XLH patients aged between 4.2 and 20.8 years and compared to twenty-nine healthy controls aged between 5.8 and 22.4 years. In eighteen controls, only radius measurements were performed. Four patients and four controls opted to participate in HR-pQCT scanning of the ultradistal radius and tibia. Results: Bone ultrasound was feasible in patients and controls as young as 4 years of age. The velocity of the first arriving signal (νFAS) in BDAT ultrasound was significantly lower in XLH patients compared to healthy controls: In the radius, mean νFAS of XLH patients and controls was 3599 ± 106 and 3866 ± 142 m/s, respectively (-6.9%; p < 0.001). In the tibia, it was 3578 ± 129 and 3762 ± 124 m/s, respectively (-4.9%; p = 0.006). HR-pQCT showed a higher trabecular thickness in the tibia of XLH patients (+16.7%; p = 0.021). Conclusions: Quantitative bone ultrasound revealed significant differences in cortical bone quality of young XLH patients as compared to controls. Regular monitoring of XLH patients by a radiation-free technology such as BDAT might provide valuable information on bone quality and contribute to the optimization of treatment. Further studies are needed to establish this affordable and time efficient method in the XLH patients.
