RESUMEN
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.

Hypophosphatemia is common and may be overlooked due to its asymptomatic nature or non-specific symptoms. Two main mechanisms are at its origin: a shift towards the intracellular sector and an increase in urinary phosphate excretion. A measurement of the urinary phosphate reabsorption threshold allows a diagnostic orientation. Alongside common forms of parathyroid hormone-dependent hypophosphatemia, one should not ignore rare FGF23-mediated forms, in particular X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. The treatment, above all etiological, also includes the administration of phosphate and, in the event of an excess of FGF23, supplementation with calcitriol. In cases of oncogenic osteomalacia and X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, the use of burosumab, an anti-FGF23 antibody, must be considered.
L'hypophosphatémie est fréquente. Pourtant, elle peut parfois être méconnue de par son caractère asymptomatique ou ses symptômes non spécifiques. Deux grands mécanismes sont à son origine : un shift vers le secteur intracellulaire et une augmentation de l'excrétion urinaire de phosphate. Une mesure du seuil de réabsorption urinaire de phosphate permet une orientation diagnostique. À côté de formes communes d'hypophosphatémies parathormone-dépendantes, il ne faut pas méconnaître des formes rares FGF23 médiées, en particulier le rachitisme hypophosphatémique lié à l'X. Le traitement, avant tout étiologique comporte aussi l'administration de phosphate et lors d'un excès de FGF23, une supplémentation en calcitriol. En cas d'ostéomalacie oncogénique et de rachitisme hypophosphatémique lié à l'X, l'emploi de burosumab, anticorps anti-FGF23, doit être considéré.

As more accurate diagnostic tools and targeted therapies become increasingly available for pediatric metabolic bone diseases, affected children have a better prognosis and significantly longer lifespan. With this potential for fulfilling lives as adults comes the need for dedicated transition and intentional care of these patients as adults. Much work has gone into improving the transitions of medically fragile children into adulthood, encompassing endocrinologic conditions like type 1 diabetes mellitus and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. However, there are gaps in the literature regarding similar guidance concerning metabolic bone conditions. This article intends to provide a brief review of research and guidelines for transitions of care more generally, followed by a more detailed treatment of bone disorders specifically. Considerations for such transitions include final adult height, fertility, fetal risk, heritability, and access to appropriately identified specialists. A nutrient-dense diet, optimal mobility, and adequate vitamin D stores are protective factors for these conditions. Primary bone disorders include hypophosphatasia, X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Metabolic bone disease can also develop secondarily as a sequela of such diverse exposures as hypogonadism, a history of eating disorder, and cancer treatment. This article synthesizes research by experts of these specific disorders to describe what is known in this field of transition medicine for metabolic bone diseases as well as unanswered questions. The long-term objective is to develop and implement strategies for successful transitions for all patients affected by these various conditions.

Nutritional rickets, caused by vitamin D and/or calcium deficiency is by far the most common cause of rickets. In resource-limited settings, it is therefore not uncommon to treat rickets with vitamin D and calcium. If rickets fails to heal and/or if there is a family history of rickets, then refractory rickets should be considered as a differential diagnosis. Chronic low serum phosphate is the pathological hallmark of all forms of rickets as its low concentration in extracellular space leads to the failure of apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes leading to defective mineralisation of the growth plate. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) control serum phosphate concentration by facilitating the excretion of phosphate in the urine through their action on the proximal renal tubules. An increase in PTH, as seen in nutritional rickets and genetic disorders of vitamin D-dependent rickets (VDDRs), leads to chronic low serum phosphate, causing rickets. Genetic conditions leading to an increase in FGF23 concentration cause chronic low serum phosphate concentration and rickets. Genetic conditions and syndromes associated with proximal renal tubulopathies can also lead to chronic low serum phosphate concentration by excess phosphate leak in urine, causing rickets.In this review, authors discuss an approach to the differential diagnosis and management of refractory rickets.

BACKGROUND: X-linked hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (XLH) is an inherited disorder that can cause highly disabling musculoskeletal comorbidities in adulthood. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical-radiological characteristics, comorbidities and complications associated with the disease and treatment in an adult population with XLH. METHOD: Retrospective study of patients treated for XLH in a rheumatology department in the last 10 years, evaluating the clinical-radiological findings, comorbidities and associated complications. RESULTS: Five patients between 39 and 75 years of age were included. All had short stature, osteoarticular symptoms and radiological enthesopathy. Four patients had early degenerative arthropathy of the knees and hips, and dental alterations associated with their disease. All patients older than 50 years required some type of prosthetic replacement. Two patients had femoral stress fractures, one had renal lithiasis and another developed tertiary hyperparathyroidism. CONCLUSIONS: Musculoskeletal manifestations are frequent and disabling in the adult population with XLH, so proper diagnosis and management from childhood are essential to prevent the development of complications in adulthood associated with this disease.

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.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is a rare condition affecting bone metabolism. It has characteristic dental features such as poorly mineralised dentine, spontaneous abscess formation in the absence of caries and taurodontism. There are limited published data about patients with this condition undergoing orthodontic treatment, and there is no clear guideline on the suitability of orthodontic treatment in this cohort. We present a case report of a patient with XLH with a confirmed PHEX gene mutation undergoing orthodontic treatment and clinical recommendations to support treatment.

CONTEXT: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is an inherited skeletal disorder that can lead to lifelong deleterious musculoskeletal and functional consequences. Although often perceived as a childhood condition, children and adults both experience the negative effects of XLH. Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) benefit from effective health care transition (HCT) preparation to support the transfer from pediatric- to adult-focused care. Whereas transition timelines, milestones, and educational tools exist for some chronic conditions, they do not meet the unique needs of patients with XLH. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: To produce the first expert recommendations on HCT preparation for AYAs with XLH developed by clinical care investigators and transition experts, a formal literature search was conducted and discussed in an advisory board meeting in July 2020. A modified Delphi method was used to refine expert opinion and facilitate a consensus position. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: We identified the need for psychosocial and access-related resources for disease education, genetic counseling, family planning, and AYA emancipation from caregiver-directed care. Additionally, we recognized that it is necessary to facilitate communication with patients through channels familiar and accessible to AYAs and teach patients to advocate for their health care/access to specialists. CONCLUSION: Clear HCT preparation guidelines and treatment-related goals are defined. Individualized timelines and practical strategies for HCT preparation are proposed to optimize health outcomes resulting from continuous clinical care throughout the patient lifecycle. We provide an expert consensus statement describing a tailored HCT preparation program specifically for AYAs with XLH to aid in the effective transfer from pediatric- to adult-focused health care.

The burden of disease of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) in East Asia is poorly understood. This was a cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and disease complications in Japanese and Korean patients with XLH. Adults with XLH and the caregivers of children <18 years of age with XLH in Japan and Korea were surveyed. Respondents disclosed demographic data, family history, diagnostic history, medical history, surgical history, disease-specific clinical symptoms, treatment, medications, and use of ancillary equipment. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs; the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the brief pain inventory, and the 36-item short form health survey version 2) were used to assess pain, disability, and HRQOL in adults. Of those surveyed, all 14 children (100%) and 30/32 adults (93.8%) were receiving treatment for XLH. However, despite oral phosphate and active vitamin D use, short stature, gait abnormalities, dental conditions, and decreased physical function were reported. Stapling of the growth plates was reported in 14.3% of children but no adults. Adult patients reported high rates of bone pain (59.4%) and joint pain (65.6%). Caregivers of children with XLH also reported the occurrence of bone pain (35.7%) and joint pain (35.7%). Many adult patients had a history of impaired renal function (9.5%), nephrocalcinosis (15.6%), hyperparathyroidism (15.6%), and parathyroidectomy (6.3%), all of which are associated with conventional XLH treatments. These data show that patients (both pediatric and adult) continue to have symptoms such as pain, disability, and various complications despite receiving conventional therapies.

A 7 year-old twin girl with hypophosphataemic rickets was evaluated for a recent onset of mild strabismus.She was a homozygous twin sister with hypophosphataemic rickets diagnosed at the age of 2 years, with a mutation in intron 21 of the PHEX gene, which was also present in her sister.The girls' clinical histories were remarkable for an important lower limb varus that progressively improved after starting phosphate supplementation with a galenical solution (Joulies solution 1 mmol phosphate/ml) and vitamin D 1,25 OH.During the examinations, both girls were in good general condition. Physical examinations were unremarkable, except for tibial varus, bilateral fifth finger clinodactyly and bilateral syndactyly of the third and fourth foot fingers. No major head shape abnormalities were noticeable except for a high forehead.One patient presented with a slight strabismus, normal isochoric isocyclic and reactive pupils, no signs of cranial nerve deficit, and no alterations in the rest of the neurological examination. An ophthalmological evaluation showed bilateral papilloedema. A cerebral MRI scan was then performed, suspecting elevated intracranial pressure (figure 1). The same examination was performed on the asymptomatic sister which also demonstrated papilloedema with similar findings on cranial MRI too.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare inheritable disorder of phosphate handling due to loss of function mutations of the PHEX gene, associated with increased production of FGF23 and impaired bone mineralization. In children, the disease's most common manifestations are bowing deformities of the lower limbs, short stature, and spontaneous dental abscesses. In adults, these are osteomalacia, insufficiency fractures, and enthesopathies associated with bone and joint pain. The XLH patient's journey with the disease may be difficult, reflecting concerns and experiences globally common to all patients with rare genetic diseases. Delays in diagnosis often preclude an optimal treatment outcome. Under-treatment is common as treating physicians, particularly those not familiar with the disease, tend to err on the side of caution, often choosing safety over efficacy. Physical abnormalities, pain, diminished function, and impaired mobility tend not only to isolate the XLH patient from his peers but also to have a significant psychological effect, eventually leading to significant impairment in quality of life. Significant advances in understanding the pathophysiology of XLH, the availability of a very comprehensive Evidence-based Guideline for the diagnosis and management of XLH, and the successful development of an effective and safe disease-specific novel therapy for XLH, have paved the way for a significant improvement in the management of this rare disorder of phosphate metabolism, heralding a significant improvement in the disease's outcome measures. Additional data from long-term observational studies and randomized controlled trials are eagerly awaited to consolidate these promising developments in the field of this rare disease.

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic phosphate disorder caused mainly by PHEX mutations. Unlike for children, knowledge of the disease's manifestations in adults is limited. Musculoskeletal symptoms are the main feature of the disease in young adults associated with a heavy burden on patients' life. They include fractures and pseudofractures, pain, joint stiffness, osteoarthritis, enthesopathies, and muscle weakness, eventually leading to impaired quality of life. Conventional treatment with phosphate supplements and vitamin D analogs is indicated in symptomatic patients. Appropriate rehabilitation is also a key to the management of the disease to improve physical function and decrease pain, stiffness, and fatigue. Regarding the incidence and consequences of musculoskeletal features in XLH, all patients should be assessed by a bone disease specialist and, if necessary, managed by a multidisciplinary team.

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.

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.

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is primarily characterized by renal phosphate wasting with hypophosphatemia, short stature, and bone deformity of the leg. Here we present a male case of XLH with relatively mild bone deformity caused by a mosaic mutation of the phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) direct sequencing revealed a novel in-frame deletion, NM-000444.6:c.671-685del p.Gln224-Ser228del, at exon 6 in PHEX as a mosaic pattern. This mutation was not found in any database and may result in a significant change in higher-order protein structure and function. TA cloning of the PCR product and clone sequencing estimated the mutation allele frequency at 21%. Literature review of the previously reported three cases with novel mosaic mutations in PHEX, together with the present case, suggests that the rates of the mutation allele correlate with phenotype severity to some extent. We initially treated him with nutritional vitamin D supplements and phosphate salts. However, to avoid the development of secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism, we had switched nutritional to active vitamin D supplementation with reduced phosphorus salts. The present report contributes to understanding the relationship between the mosaic rate, in addition to the mutation locus, of the PHEX gene, and clinical features of XLH.

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.

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.

INTRODUCTION: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare inherited cause of hypophosphatemic rickets and osteomalacia. It is caused by mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX). This results in increased plasma fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), which leads to loss of renal sodium-phosphate co-transporter expression leading to chronic renal phosphate excretion. It also leads to low serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), resulting in impaired intestinal phosphate absorption. Chronic hypophosphatemia in XLH leads to impaired endochondral mineralization of the growth plates of long bones with bony deformities. XLH in children and adolescents also causes impaired growth, myopathy, bone pain, and dental abscesses. XLH is the most frequent inherited cause of phosphopenic rickets/osteomalacia. Hypophosphatemia is also found in calcipenic rickets/osteomalacia as a result of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thus, chronic hypophosphatemia is a common etiologic factor in all types of rickets. RESULTS: There is considerable overlap between symptoms and signs of phosphopenic and calcipenic rickets/osteomalacia. Wrong diagnosis leads to inappropriate treatment of rickets/osteomalacia. Nutritional rickets and osteomalacia are common in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries which include Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. Due to high levels of consanguinity in the region, genetic causes of phosphopenic and calcipenic rickets/osteomalacia are also common. CONCLUSION: This guideline was developed to provide an approach to the diagnosis of XLH, especially where there is no family history of the disease, and that other related conditions are not mistaken for XLH. We also guide the medical management of XLH with conventional treatment and with burosumab, a recombinant human IgG1 monoclonal antibody to FGF23.

FGF23 is a phosphaturic hormone produced by bone. FGF23 reduces serum phosphate by suppressing proximal tubular phosphate reabsorption and intestinal phosphate absorption. After the identification of FGF23, several kinds of hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia such as X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) have been shown to be caused by excessive actions of FGF23. Circulatory FGF23 is high in patients with these hypophosphatemic diseases while FGF23 is rather low in those with chronic hypophosphatemia from other causes such as vitamin D deficiency. These results indicate that FGF23 measurement is useful for the differential diagnosis of hypophosphatemia. Chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for FGF23 has been approved for clinical use in Japan. The first choice treatment for patients with TIO is complete removal of responsible tumors. However, it is not always possible to find and completely remove responsible tumors. Phosphate and active vitamin D have been used for patients with hypophosphatemic diseases caused by excessive actions of FGF23 including TIO patients with unresectable tumors. However, these medications have limited effects and several adverse events. The inhibition of excessive FGF23 actions has been considered to be a novel therapy for these hypophosphatemic diseases. Human MAB for FGF23, burosumab, has been shown to improve biochemical abnormalities, roentgenological signs of rickets, growth, fracture healing and impaired mineralization in patients with XLH. Burosumab has been approved in several countries including Europe, North America and Japan. Long-term effects of burosumab need to be addressed in future studies.
