Addressing the psychosocial aspects of transition to adult care in patients with cystinosis. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:2861-2874.

Abstract
Cystinosis is a rare autosomal-recessive lysosomal storage disease that progressively affects multiple organs beginning with the kidneys. Patients require lifelong multidisciplinary care for the management of kidney disease and progressive extra-renal manifestations, and thus, they are especially fragile and vulnerable during transition from pediatric to adult care. Previous documents have provided guidance to help the medical transition of these highly burdened patients. Patients and their families often experience great psychological distress and face significant social challenges; for these reasons, they often need help from psychologists, social workers, and other psychosocial professionals. Due to the rarity of the disease, most psychosocial professionals have no expertise in this disorder and require advice. To this end, a steering committee (SC) composed of six experts, including pediatric nephrologists, psychologists, and social workers with experience in the care for patients with cystinosis, have identified and addressed seven key questions related to psychosocial challenges of the disease and the burden of treatment. Ten additional international experts (the extended faculty, EF) were invited to answer these questions. Since robust evidence is lacking, as in many rare diseases, conclusions were based on collective agreement between members of the SC and the EF, and the consolidated answers were summarized into expert opinion statements. The present document contains information on the concerns and psychosocial burden of patients with cystinosis and of their caregivers, and provides practical advice for timely and appropriate support to facilitate the transition to adult care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The CTNS gene mutation causes infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC). Patients with INC develop Fanconi syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with significant bone deformations. C57BL/6 Ctns-/- mice are an animal model for studying INC. Hyperleptinaemia results from the kidney's inability to eliminate the hormone leptin in CKD. Ctns-/- mice have elevated serum leptin concentrations. Leptin regulates bone metabolism through its receptor that signals further via the hypothalamic melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R). Leptin signalling may affect bone health in Ctns-/- mice. METHODS We first defined the time course of bone abnormalities in Ctns-/- mice between 1 and 12 months of age. We used both genetic and pharmacological approaches to investigate leptin signalling in Ctns-/- mice. We generated Ctns-/-Mc4r-/- double knockout mice. Bone phenotype of Ctns-/-Mc4r-/- mice, Ctns-/- mice and wild type (WT) mice at 1, 4, and 9 months of age were compared. We then treated 12-month-old Ctns-/- mice and WT mice with a pegylated leptin receptor antagonist (PLA) (7 mg/kg/day, IP), a MC4R antagonist agouti-related peptide (AgRP) (2 nmol, intracranial infusion on days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27), or vehicle (normal saline), respectively, for 28 days. Whole-body (BMC/BMD, bone area) and femoral bone phenotype (BMC/BMD, bone area, length and failure load) of mice were measured by DXA and femoral shaft biochemical test. We also measured lean mass content by EchoMRI and muscle function (grip strength and rotarod activity) in mice. Femur protein content of JAK2 and STAT3 was measured by ELISA kits, respectively. RESULTS Bone defects are present in Ctns-/- mice throughout its first year of life. The deletion of the Mc4r gene attenuated bone disorder in Ctns-/- mice. Femoral BMD, bone area, length, and strength (failure load) were significantly increased in 9-month-old Ctns-/-Mc4r-/- mice than in age-matched Ctns-/- mice. PLA and AgRP treatment significantly increased femoral bone density (BMC/BMD) and mechanical strength in 12-month-old Ctns-/- mice. We adopted the pair-feeding approach for this study to show that the protective effects of PLA or AgRP on bone phenotype are independent of their potent orexigenic effect. Furthermore, an increase in lean mass and in vivo muscle function (grip strength and rotarod activity) are associated with improvements in bone phenotype (femoral BMC/BMD and mechanical strength) in Ctns-/- mice, suggesting a muscle-bone interplay. Decreased femur protein content of JAK2 and STAT3 was evident in Ctns-/- mice. PLA or AgRP treatment attenuated femur STAT3 content in Ctns-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest a significant role for dysregulated leptin signalling in INC-related bone disorder, either directly or potentially involving a muscle-bone interplay. Leptin signalling blockade may represent a novel approach to treating bone disease as well as muscle wasting in INC.

Abstract
Osteocytes are the most abundant type of bone cell and play crucial roles in bone health. Osteocytes sense mechanical stress and orchestrate osteoblasts and osteoclasts to maintain bone density and strength. Beyond this, osteocytes have also emerged as key regulators of organ crosstalk, and they function as endocrine organs via their roles in secreting factors that mediate signaling within their neighboring bone cells and in distant tissues. As such, osteocyte dysfunction has been associated with the bone abnormalities seen across a spectrum of chronic kidney disease. Specifically, dysregulated osteocyte morphology and signaling have been observed in the earliest stages of chronic kidney disease and have been suggested to contribute to kidney disease progression. More important, US Food and Drug Administration-approved inhibitors of osteocytic secreted proteins, such as fibroblast growth factor 23 and sclerostin, have been used to treat bone diseases. The present mini review highlights new research that links dysfunctional osteocytes to the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease mineral and bone disorder.

Determination of FGF23 Levels for the Diagnosis of FGF23-Mediated Hypophosphatemia. J Bone Miner Res 2022; 37:2174-2185.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) measurement is a critical tool in the evaluation of patients with disordered phosphate homeostasis. Available laboratory reference ranges for blood FGF23 were developed using samples from normophosphatemic individuals. Reliance on such values can lead to misdiagnosis in patients with FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia, such as X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO), in whom pathology-driving FGF23 levels can be in the "normal range." To determine FGF23 levels that are diagnostic for the identification of patients with FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemic disorders, we studied 149 patients with various disorders of FGF23-mediated and FGF23-independent hypophosphatemia and defined cut-off levels for both intact FGF23 (iFGF23) and C-terminal FGF23 (cFGF23) that can accurately distinguish between FGF23-mediated and FGF23-independent hypophosphatemia. In addition, to demonstrate the relationship between FGF23 and phosphate across the spectrum of human physiology, we assessed blood levels of FGF23 and phosphate in 434 patients with various forms of hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphatemia, and normophosphatemia. An intact FGF23 cut point of 27 pg/mL was 100% sensitive and specific in distinguishing FGF23-mediated from FGF23-independent hypophosphatemia, and a cFGF23 cut point of 90 RU/mL was 100% sensitive and specific in distinguishing specifically TIO from FGF23-independent hypophosphatemia. There was overlap in the cFGF23 range of 45-90 RU/mL between genetic forms of FGF23 excess and FGF23-independent hypophosphatemia, substantiating the superiority of iFGF23 over cFGF23 in making the diagnosis of FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia. In this cohort, using the laboratory upper limit of normal for cFGF23 (180 RU/mL) would result in a misdiagnosis in more than half of patients with FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia. In this, the largest study of FGF23 in chronic hypophosphatemia to date, we established iFGF23 and cFGF23 cut-off values to assist in the evaluation and diagnosis of hypophosphatemic conditions. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Nutritional vitamin D deficiency is the most frequent cause of rickets followed by genetic causes, that include entities classic hypophosphatemic rickets (FGF23 related), Dent disease, Fanconi syndrome, renal tubular acidosis, and vitamin D dependent rickets. Hypophosphatemia is a feature in all these forms. The diagnosis relies on a combination of clinical, biochemical and radiological features, but genetic testing is required to confirm the diagnosis. Between May 2015 and July 2019, we screened 66 patients with hypophosphatemic rickets by whole exome sequencing (WES) referred to this center in addition to measurement of intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels in serum. WES revealed 36 pathogenic and 28 likely pathogenic variants in 16 different genes (PHEX, FGF23, DMP1, ENPP1, CLCN5, CTNS, SLC2A2, GATM, SLC34A1, EHHADH, SLC4A1, ATP6V1B1, ATP6V0A4, CYP27B1, VDR and FGFR1) in 63 patients which helped differentiate various forms of hypophosphatemic rickets. Intact serum FGF23 levels were significantly higher in patients with variations in PHEX, FGF23, DMP1 or ENPP1 genes. The chief genetic causes of rickets were classic hypophosphatemic rickets with elevated FGF23 levels, distal renal tubular acidosis, and vitamin D dependent rickets. Based on the present results, we propose a customized gene panel for targeted exome sequencing, which will be useful for confirming the diagnosis in most patients with hypophosphatemic rickets.

Abstract
Isolated hyperglycinuria is a rare disorder that is associated with osteoporosis and renal calculi. We report findings in a middle-aged, black woman who presented for renal function evaluation with a history of transient hypobicarbonataemia associated with topiramate therapy. She displayed the full triad of high urinary glycine, early-onset osteopenia despite normal reproductive hormones, and renal calculus with high urinary oxalate, phosphate and uric acid. Parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor 23 were both normal. Formal genetic testing did not reveal mutations in SLC6A20, SLC6A18, SLC6A19, SLC36A2, the known genes associated with glycinuria; however, black individuals are poorly represented in the genetic databases. It may well be that otherwise unidentified mutations may be present or that topiramate may result in a lingering proximal tubule defect even after cessation of the drug.

Abstract
Congenital diseases of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and glomerulonephritis are the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children. Although renal osteodystrophy (ROD) and indices of mineral metabolism have been characterized in dialyzed children, the impact of primary kidney disease on ROD is unknown. We performed a cross‐sectional study of bone biopsies performed in 189 pediatric dialysis patients aged 12.6 ± 5.4 years. Patients were classified into three groups according to primary kidney disease: CAKUT (n = 82), hereditary (n = 22), or glomerular disease (n = 85). Serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and 25(OH) vitamin D were measured at the time of biopsy. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels were measured in a subset of 59 patients. Levels of calcium, phosphate, PTH, and 25(OH) vitamin D were similar across groups. CAKUT patients had higher serum ALP and lower C‐terminal FGF23 levels. Bone turnover and bone volume parameters did not differ across groups. However, osteoid volume (OV/BV), osteoid surface (OS/BS), and osteoid maturation time (OMT) were highest in the CAKUT group and lowest in the hereditary group. Multiple regression analysis revealed that calcium, phosphate, ALP, and PTH were independently associated with OV/BV and osteoid thickness (O.Th). PTH was an independent factor affecting bone formation rate. The relationship between CKD etiology and bone histomorphometric variables was abrogated after adjustment for biochemical parameters in the multivariable models. Overall, bone histology differed according to CKD etiology in the unadjusted analysis; however, this association could not be confirmed independently of biochemical parameters. Although CAKUT patients had a greater mineralization defect with elevated serum ALP levels, longitudinal studies will be needed to elucidate mediation pathways that might be involved in the complex interplay of CKD‐mineral bone disease (MBD). © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Cystinosis Metabolic Bone Disease (CMBD) has emerged during the last decade as a well-recognized, long-term complication in patients suffering from infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC), resulting in significant morbidity and impaired quality of life in teenagers and adults with INC. Its underlying pathophysiology is complex and multifactorial, associating complementary, albeit distinct entities, in addition to ordinary mineral and bone disorders observed in other types of chronic kidney disease. Amongst these long-term consequences are renal Fanconi syndrome, hypophosphatemic rickets, malnutrition, hormonal abnormalities, muscular impairment, and intrinsic cellular bone defects in bone cells, due to CTNS mutations. Recent research data in the field have demonstrated abnormal mineral regulation, intrinsic bone defects, cysteamine toxicity, muscle wasting and, likely interleukin-1-driven inflammation in the setting of CMBD. Here we summarize these new pathophysiological deregulations and discuss the crucial interplay between bone and muscle in INC. In future, vitamin D and/or biotherapies targeting the IL1β pathway may improve muscle wasting and subsequently CMBD, but this remains to be proven.
