Abstract
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) codes for a type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein which hydrolyzes extracellular phosphoanhydrides into bio-active molecules that regulate, inter alia, ectopic mineralization, bone formation, vascular endothelial proliferation, and the innate immune response. The clinical phenotypes produced by ENPP1 deficiency are disparate, ranging from life-threatening arterial calcifications to cutaneous hypopigmentation. To investigate associations between disease phenotype and enzyme activity we quantified the enzyme velocities of 29 unique ENPP1 pathogenic variants in 41 patients enrolled in an NIH study along with 33 other variants reported in literature. We correlated the relative enzyme velocities with the presenting clinical diagnoses, performing the catalytic velocity measurements simultaneously in triplicate using a high-throughput assay to reduce experimental variation. We found that ENPP1 variants associated with autosomal dominant phenotypes reduced enzyme velocities by 50 % or more, whereas variants associated with insulin resistance had non-significant effects on enzyme velocity. In Cole's disease the catalytic velocities of ENPP1 variants associated with AD forms trended to lower values than those associated with autosomal recessive forms - 8-32 % vs. 33 % of WT, respectively. Additionally, ENPP1 variants leading to life-threatening vascular calcifications in GACI patients had widely variable enzyme activities, ranging from no significant differences compared to WT to the complete abolishment of enzyme velocity. Finally, disease severity in GACI did not correlate with the mean enzyme velocity of the variants present in affected compound heterozygotes but did correlate with the more severely damaging variant. In summary, correlation of ENPP1 enzyme velocity with disease phenotypes demonstrate that enzyme velocities below 50 % of WT levels are likely to occur in the context of autosomal dominant disease (due to a monoallelic variant), and that disease severity in GACI infants correlates with the more severely damaging ENPP1 variant in compound heterozygotes, not the mean velocity of the pathogenic variants present.

Abstract
The enzyme ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) codes for a type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein that hydrolyzes extracellular ATP to generate pyrophosphate (PPi) and adenosine monophosphate, thereby contributing to downstream purinergic signaling pathways. The clinical phenotypes induced by ENPP1 deficiency are seemingly contradictory and include early-onset osteoporosis in middle-aged adults and life-threatening vascular calcifications in the large arteries of infants with generalized arterial calcification of infancy. The progressive overmineralization of soft tissue and concurrent undermineralization of skeleton also occur in the general medical population, where it is referred to as paradoxical mineralization to highlight the confusing pathophysiology. This review summarizes the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of paradoxical mineralization unveiled by ENPP1 deficiency and the bench-to-bedside development of a novel ENPP1 biologics designed to treat mineralization disorders in the rare disease and general medical population.

Abstract
Phosphorus, predominantly in the form of inorganic phosphate PO4-3, has many essential physiological functions. In the skeleton, phosphate and calcium form the mineral component and phosphate is also essential in regulating function of skeletal cells. Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of phosphate homeostasis since the recognition of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) as a bone-derived phosphaturic hormone. This second part of a two-part review of disorders of phosphate homeostasis in children covers hypophosphatemic and hyperphosphatemic disorders that are of interest to the pediatric radiologist, emphasizing, but not limited to, those related to abnormalities of FGF23 signaling.

Abstract
Biallelic ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) deficiency induces vascular/soft tissue calcifications in generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI), and low bone mass with phosphate-wasting rickets in GACI survivors (autosomal hypophosphatemic rickets type-2). ENPP1 haploinsufficiency induces early-onset osteoporosis and mild phosphate wasting in adults. Both conditions demonstrate the unusual combination of reduced accrual of skeletal mineral, yet excess and progressive heterotopic mineralization. ENPP1 is the only enzyme that generates extracellular pyrophosphate (PPi), a potent inhibitor of both bone and heterotopic mineralization. Life-threatening vascular calcification in ENPP1 deficiency is due to decreased plasma PPi; however, the mechanism by which osteopenia results is not apparent from an understanding of the enzyme's catalytic activity. To probe for catalysis-independent ENPP1 pathways regulating bone, we developed a murine model uncoupling ENPP1 protein signaling from ENPP1 catalysis, Enpp1T238A mice. In contrast to Enpp1asj mice, which lack ENPP1, Enpp1T238A mice have normal trabecular bone microarchitecture and favorable biomechanical properties. However, both models demonstrate low plasma Pi and PPi, increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), and by 23 weeks, osteomalacia demonstrating equivalent phosphate wasting in both models. Reflecting findings in whole bone, calvarial cell cultures from Enpp1asj mice demonstrated markedly decreased calcification, elevated transcription of Sfrp1, and decreased nuclear β-catenin signaling compared to wild-type (WT) and Enpp1T238A cultures. Finally, the decreased calcification and nuclear β-catenin signaling observed in Enpp1asj cultures was restored to WT levels by knockout of Sfrp1. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that catalysis-independent ENPP1 signaling pathways regulate bone mass via the expression of soluble Wnt inhibitors such as secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1), whereas catalysis dependent pathways regulate phosphate homeostasis through the regulation of plasma FGF23. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) deficiency leads to cardiovascular calcification in infancy, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)-mediated hypophosphatemic rickets in childhood, and osteomalacia in adulthood. Excessive enthesis mineralization and cervical spine fusion have been previously reported in patients with biallelic ENPP1 deficiency, but their effect on quality of life is unknown. We describe additional musculoskeletal complications in patients with ENPP1 deficiency, namely osteoarthritis and interosseous membrane ossification, and for the first time evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with this disease, both subjectively via narrative report, and objectively via the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form, and a Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS PF) short form. Residual pain, similar in magnitude to that identified in adult patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia, was experienced by the majority of patients despite use of analgesic medications. Impairment in physical function varied from mild to severe. To assess murine ENPP1 deficiency for the presence of enthesopathy, and for the potential response to enzyme replacement therapy, we maintained Enpp1asj/asj mice on regular chow for 23 weeks and treated cohorts with either vehicle or a long-acting form of recombinant ENPP1. Enpp1asj/asj mice treated with vehicle exhibited robust calcification throughout their Achilles tendons, whereas two-thirds of those treated with ENPP1 enzyme replacement exhibited complete or partial suppression of the Achilles tendon calcification. Our combined results document that musculoskeletal complications are a significant source of morbidity in biallelic ENPP1 deficiency, a phenotype which is closely recapitulated in Enpp1asj/asj mice. Finally, we show that a long-acting form of recombinant ENPP1 prevents the development of enthesis calcification at the relatively modest dose of 0.3 mg/kg per week, suggesting that suppression of enthesopathy may be attainable upon dose escalation. © 2021 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2) is a rare form of hereditary rickets, which is characterized by defective bone mineralization and renal phosphate wasting due to a loss-of-function variant in the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) gene. Although pathogenic variant of ENPP1 has been known to manifest other phenotypes including arterial calcification, hearing loss, ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament, or pseudoxanthoma elasticum, there have been few reports including systematic examination in individuals diagnosed with ARHR2 to date. Herein, we report a case of ARHR2 with a bi-allelic pathogenic variant of ENPP1, in which the patient presented with gait abnormalities with severe genu varum at 26 months of age. Targeted gene panel sequencing was performed to investigate the genetic cause of rickets, and a homozygous nonsense variant in ENPP1, c.783C>G (p.Tyr261*), was identified. The patient was treated with oral phosphate and active vitamin D supplements and underwent corrective osteotomy for varus deformity. His phenotype was limited to rickets. A periodic systematic evaluation is needed to identify any comorbidities in ARHR2 patients since ENPP1 variants may present phenotypes other than rickets and symptoms may evolve or change over time.
