Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant reductions in lean body mass and in the mass of various tissues, including skeletal muscle, which causes fatigue and contributes to high mortality rates. In CKD, the cellular protein turnover is imbalanced, with protein degradation outweighing protein synthesis, leading to a loss of protein and cell mass, which impairs tissue function. As CKD itself, skeletal muscle wasting, or sarcopenia, can have various origins and causes, and both CKD and sarcopenia share common risk factors, such as diabetes, obesity, and age. While these pathologies together with reduced physical performance and malnutrition contribute to muscle loss, they cannot explain all features of CKD-associated sarcopenia. Metabolic acidosis, systemic inflammation, insulin resistance and the accumulation of uremic toxins have been identified as additional factors that occur in CKD and that can contribute to sarcopenia. Here, we discuss the elevation of systemic phosphate levels, also called hyperphosphatemia, and the imbalance in the endocrine regulators of phosphate metabolism as another CKD-associated pathology that can directly and indirectly harm skeletal muscle tissue. To identify causes, affected cell types, and the mechanisms of sarcopenia and thereby novel targets for therapeutic interventions, it is important to first characterize the precise pathologic changes on molecular, cellular, and histologic levels, and to do so in CKD patients as well as in animal models of CKD, which we describe here in detail. We also discuss the currently known pathomechanisms and therapeutic approaches of CKD-associated sarcopenia, as well as the effects of hyperphosphatemia and the novel drug targets it could provide to protect skeletal muscle in CKD.

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

Effect of Burosumab on Muscle Function and Strength, and Rates of ATP Synthesis in Skeletal Muscle in Adults With XLH. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2024; 109:e1061-e1071. [PMID: 37930769 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT In clinical trials, burosumab ameliorates symptoms of pain, fatigue, and stiffness and improves performance on certain muscle function studies in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). OBJECTIVE This work aimed to determine if burosumab increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis in skeletal muscle of treatment-naive adults with XLH, and if so, whether that correlates with improved muscle function. METHODS Ten untreated, symptomatic adults with XLH had ATP synthesis rates measured in the right calf using the 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy saturation transfer technique. Baseline muscle function tests and symptoms of pain, fatigue, stiffness, and lower-extremity joint pain were quantified. All participants were treated with burosumab, 1 mg/kg every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. ATP synthesis rates and muscle function tests were repeated 2 weeks ("peak") and 4 weeks ("trough") after the third dose of burosumab. RESULTS All symptoms improved with treatment. Performance on the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and Sit to Stand (STS) tests also improved. Muscle strength and ATP synthesis rates did not change over the 3 months of the study. When individuals whose performances on the 6MWT and STS test were at or better than the median outcome for those tests were compared to those whose outcomes were below the median, no difference was observed in the rate of change in ATP synthesis. Intracellular muscle concentrations of phosphate were normal. CONCLUSION The improvement in the 6MWT and STS test without changes in muscle strength or ATP synthesis rates suggests that reductions in pain, fatigue, and stiffness may partly explain the improved performance. Intracellular phosphate in skeletal muscle is insulated from hypophosphatemia in XLH.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), the most common cause of hypophosphatemic rickets, affects one in every 20,000 people. 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.

Impaired Physical Performance in X-linked Hypophosphatemia Is not Caused by Depleted Muscular Phosphate Stores. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:1634-1645.

Abstract
CONTEXT X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disease, characterized by renal phosphate wasting and complex musculoskeletal manifestations including decreased physical performance. OBJECTIVE To characterize muscular deficits in patients with XLH and investigate phosphate stores in muscles. METHODS Case-control study (Muscle fatigability in X-linked Hypophosphatemia [MuXLiH]) with a 1-time assessment at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Cologne, from May to December 2019, including patients with XLH cared for at the Osteology Department, University of Wuerzburg. Thirteen patients with XLH and 13 age/sex/body weight-matched controls aged 18-65 years were included. The main outcome measure was 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS)-based assessment of phosphate metabolites in the soleus muscle at rest. Further analyses included magnetic resonance imaging-based muscle volume measurement, laboratory testing, isokinetic maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), fatigue testing, and jumping mechanography. RESULTS By means of 31P-MRS, no significant differences were observed between XLH and controls regarding phosphate metabolites except for a slightly increased phosphocreatine to inorganic phosphate (PCr/Pi) ratio (XLH: 13.44 ± 3.22, control: 11.01 ± 2.62, P = .023). Quadriceps muscle volume was reduced in XLH (XLH: 812.1 ± 309.0 mL, control: 1391.1 ± 306.2 mv, P < .001). No significant differences were observed regarding isokinetic maximum torque (MVC) adjusted to quadriceps muscle volume. Jumping peak power and jump height were significantly reduced in XLH vs controls (both P < .001). CONCLUSION The content of phosphoric compounds within the musculature of patients with XLH was not observed to be different from controls. Volume-adjusted muscle strength and fatiguability were not different either. Reduced physical performance in patients with XLH may result from long-term adaptation to reduced physical activity due to skeletal impairment.

Combined gait analysis and radiologic examination in children with X-linked hypophosphatemia. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2023; 105:105974.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphataemia causes bone deformities and gait abnormalities that tend to worsen with age in the absence of appropriate treatment. However, doctors do not currently use quantitative tools to characterize these symptoms and their possible interactions. METHODS Radiographs and 3D gait data from 43 non-surgical growing children with X-linked hypophosphataemia were acquired prospectively. Data from age-matched typically developing children were used to form the reference group. Subgroups based on radiological parameters were compared with each other and with the reference population. Linear correlations between radiographic parameters and gait variables were examined. FINDING X-linked hypophosphatemic patients differed from the control group in pelvic tilt, ankle plantarflexion, knee flexion moment and power. High correlations with tibiofemoral angle were found for trunk lean, knee and hip adduction, and knee abduction moment. The Gait Deviation Index was below 80 for 88% of the patients with a high tibiofemoral angle (varus). Compared to other subgroups, varus patients had augmented trunk lean (+3°) and knee adduction (+10°) and decreased hip adduction (-5°) and ankle plantarflexion (-6°). Femoral torsion was associated with alterations in rotation at the knee, and hip. INTERPRETATION Gait abnormalities induced in X-linked hypophosphataemia have been described in a large cohort of children. Links between gait alterations and lower limb deformities were found, with varus deformities standing out. Since bony deformities appear when X-linked hypophosphatemic children start walking and have been found to alter gait patterns, we suggest that combining radiology with gait analysis may improve the clinical management of X-linked hypophosphataemia.

Different Efficacy of Burosumab on Physical Performance and Serum Phosphate in Adult Patients with X-Linked Hyphophosphatemic Rickets during the First Six-Month of Treatment. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12082906.

Abstract
Burosumab is a monoclonal anti-FGF23 antibody used to treat patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). Its effect on serum phosphate and physical performance was compared in patients during a 6-month treatment with burosumab. Eight adult patients with XHL were treated with burosumab (1 mg/kg s.c. every 28 days). In the first 6 months of treatment, calcium-phosphate metabolism variables were measured, and muscle performance (tested with chair and walking test) and quality of life (tested with fatigue, BPI-pain and BPI-life questionnaires) were estimated. A significant increase in serum phosphate was observed during the treatment. From the 16th week, serum phosphate became significantly lower than its value in the 4th week. No patients had serum phosphate below the normal range at the 10th week, but seven patients were hypophosphatemic in the 20th and 24th week. All patients improved the execution time of the chair test and walking test, which reached a plateau after the 12th week. BPI-pain and BPI-life scores significantly decreased from baseline to the 24th week. In conclusion, a six-month burosumab treatment may significantly improve the general condition and physical performance of adult patients with XLH; this improvement was more stable and more indicative of treatment efficacy than that of serum phosphate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the impact of continued burosumab treatment on clinical laboratory tests of efficacy, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and ambulatory function in adults with X-linked hypophosphataemia who continued from a 96-week phase 3 study into a 48-week open-label extension. METHODS Eligible participants from the phase 3 study continued on the burosumab regimen received at the end of the phase 3 study for a further 48 weeks (n=31). Some (not all) received compassionate burosumab treatment between the two studies (a period of 6-18 months). The primary efficacy outcome was fasting serum phosphate concentration; secondary outcomes were serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D concentration, renal phosphate reabsorption, PROs and ambulatory function. RESULTS Improvements in fasting serum phosphate, serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D and renal phosphate reabsorption at 96 weeks were maintained through the 48-week extension. Improvements were also maintained in stiffness and physical function measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, pain and fatigue endpoints measuring using the Brief Pain Inventory short-form and Brief Pain Inventory, respectively, and in ambulatory function (6-Minute Walk Test).A post-hoc exploratory analysis exploring outcomes in participants who discontinued burosumab treatment between the studies (n=7) and those who received at least one dose (n=23) indicated that the benefits of burosumab on clinical laboratory tests of efficacy, PROs and ambulatory function may be lost when treatment is interrupted but recover over time when treatment is reinstated. CONCLUSION Continued treatment with burosumab appears necessary for sustained clinical benefit. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS Phase 3: NCT02526160; open-label extension: NCT03920072.

[PMID: 36553684 PMCID: PMC9778127 DOI: 10.3390/genes13122415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most common hereditary form of rickets and deficiency of renal tubular phosphate transport in humans. XLH is caused by the inactivation of mutations within the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene and follows an X-dominant transmission. It has an estimated frequency of 1 case per 20,000, and over 300 distinct pathogenic variations have been reported that result in an excess of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) in the serum. Increased levels of FGF23 lead to renal phosphate loss, decreased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and increased metabolism of 1,25-dihydoxyvitamin D, resulting in hypophosphatemia. Major clinical manifestations include rickets, bone deformities, and growth retardation that develop during childhood, and osteomalacia-related fractures or pseudo-fractures, degenerative osteoarthritis, enthesopathy, dental anomalies, and hearing loss during adulthood, which can affect quality of life. In addition, fatigue is also a common symptom in patients with XLH, who experience decreased motion, muscle weakness, and pain, contributing to altered quality of life. The clinical and biomedical characteristics of XLH are extensively defined in bone tissue since skeletal deformations and mineralization defects are the most evident effects of high FGF23 and low serum phosphate levels. However, despite the muscular symptoms that XLH causes, very few reports are available on the effects of FGF23 and phosphate in muscle tissue. Given the close relationship between bones and skeletal muscles, studying the effects of FGF23 and phosphate on muscle could provide additional opportunities to understand the interactions between these two important compartments of the body. By describing the current literature on XLH and skeletal muscle dysfunctions, the purpose of this review is to highlight future areas of research that could contribute to a better understanding of XLH muscular disability and its management.

Jang SA, Kwon SJ, Kim CS, Park SW, Kim KM. Association Between Low Serum Phosphate Level and Risk of Falls in Hospitalized Patients Over 50 Years of Age: A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study. Clin Interv Aging 2022; 17:1343-1351. [PMID: 36105916 PMCID: PMC9467292 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s368404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Falls are the leading cause of injury among hospitalized patients, particularly among older patients. We investigated the association between serum phosphate (s-phosphate) levels and the risk of in-hospital falls. Patients and Methods This retrospective observational cohort study included all patients aged over 50 years who were admitted to Yongin Severance Hospital in South Korea between January 2018 and March 2021. Demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical parameters were recorded on admission. S-phosphate levels were classified into three groups: below normal (<2.8 mg/dL), normal (2.8–4.4 mg/dL), and above normal (≥4.5 mg/dL). The normal group was further stratified into tertiles (2.8–3.2, 3.3–3.7, and 3.8–4.4 mg/dL). The incidence of in-hospital falls was compared between the five groups. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between s-phosphate levels and the incidence of falls during the hospital stay, with clinical factors included as covariates in the multivariable models. Results A total of 15,485 patients (female: 52.1%) with a median age of 70.0 years (interquartile range: 60.0–79.0 years) were included in the analysis, of whom 295 (1.9%) experienced a fall during the hospital stay. The incidence of falls was significantly higher among patients with lower s-phosphate levels, and this relationship also applied among patients with s-phosphate levels within the normal range as well. The association between lower s-phosphate levels and increased risk of falls remained significant in the adjusted analyses. Conclusion A lower s-phosphate level on admission was independently associated with an increased risk of in-hospital falls. Further studies are needed to determine whether the s-phosphate level on admission could improve prediction of the risk of in-hospital falls.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare inherited disorder involving elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23, and is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the PHEX gene. FGF23 induces renal phosphate wasting and suppresses the activation of vitamin D, resulting in defective bone mineralization and rachitic changes in the growth plate and osteomalacia. Conventional treatment with combinations of oral inorganic phosphate and active vitamin D analogs enhances bone calcification, but the efficacy of conventional treatment is insufficient for adult XLH patients to achieve an acceptable quality of life. Burosumab, a fully human monoclonal anti-FGF23 antibody, binds and inhibits FGF23, correcting hypophosphatemia and hypovitaminosis D. This review describes a typical adult with XLH and summarizes the results of clinical trials of burosumab in adults with XLH.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia is an inheritable disease of renal phosphate wasting that results in clinically manifestations associated with rickets or osteomalacia. The various symptoms in the skeletal system are well recognized, such as short stature; lower limb deformities; and bone, joint, or muscle pain, and it is often difficult to control these symptoms, despite the use of medication therapy in growing children. In addition, lower limb deformities can lead to degenerative osteoarthritis and dysfunction of lower limbs at the skeletal maturity. To prevent from future manifestation of those symptoms, orthopedic surgeries are applicable to growing patients with severe skeletal deformities or without response to conventional medication. Bone deformities are treated by acute or gradual corrective osteotomies and temporally hemiepiphysiodesis using guided growth method. The clinicians should choose the right procedure based on age, symptoms and state of deformities of the patient.

PHEXL222P Mutation Increases Phex Expression in a New ENU Mouse Model for XLH Disease. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081356.

Abstract
PhexL222P mouse is a new ENU mouse model for XLH disease due to Leu to Pro amino acid modification at position 222. PhexL222P mouse is characterized by growth retardation, hypophosphatemia, hypocalcemia, reduced body bone length, and increased epiphyseal growth plate thickness and femur diameter despite the increase in PHEXL222P expression. Actually, PhexL222P mice show an increase in Fgf23, Dmp1, and Mepe and Slc34a1 (Na-Pi IIa cotransporter) mRNA expression similar to those observed in Hyp mice. Femoral osteocalcin and sclerostin and Slc34a1 do not show any significant variation in PhexL222P mice. Molecular dynamics simulations support the experimental data. P222 might locally break the E217-Q224 β-sheet, which in turn might disrupt inter-β-sheet interactions. We can thus expect local protein misfolding, which might be responsible for the experimentally observed PHEXL222P loss of function. This model could be a valuable addition to the existing XLH model for further comprehension of the disease occurrence and testing of new therapies.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We described physical function and activity in UK adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). Our data indicate that low physical activity and impaired mobility are common in adults with XLH. Deficits in lower limbs muscle power and functional capacity contribute to the loss of physical function in adults with XLH. INTRODUCTION There is a dearth of literature on physical function and physical activity in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). We described muscle strength and power, functional capacity, mobility and physical activity level and explored the relationships among these variables in adults with XLH. METHODS Participants were recruited as part of a UK-based prospective cohort study, the RUDY Study. They underwent a clinical visit and physical examination, including assessment of handgrip strength, jump power (mechanography), six-minute walk test (6MWT) and short physical performance battery (SPPB), and completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Performance data were analysed using parametric and non-parametric tests, whereas correlations were assessed by univariate analysis. RESULTS Twenty-six adults with XLH (50% males) with a mean age of 44 ± 16.1 years were recruited. Jump power and 6MWT distances (p < 0.0001) were 54.4% and 38.6% lower respectively in individuals with XLH compared with normative values. These deficits were not associated with age or sex. Handgrip strength values were similar to expected values. Deficits in muscle power were more pronounced than those reported at 6MWT (p < 0.0001). Univariate analysis revealed only a correlation between total physical activity and muscle power (r = 0.545, p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS Adults with XLH have a marked deficit in lower limb muscle power and a reduced functional capacity, with a high incidence of impaired mobility and inactivity. In addition to metabolic effects of XLH, low physical activity may contribute to deficits in lower limb power. Further studies are required to develop novel treatment approaches to improve physical function and mobility.

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.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
In recent years, much progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of bone growth and development over a lifespan, including the crosstalk between muscle and bone, to achieve optimal structure and function. While there have been significant advances in understanding how to help improve and maintain bone health in normal individuals, there is limited knowledge on whether these mechanisms apply or are compromised in pathological states. X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) (ORPHA:89936) is a rare, heritable, renal phosphate-wasting disorder. The resultant chronic hypophosphatemia leads to progressive deterioration in musculoskeletal function, including impaired growth, rickets, and limb deformities in children, as well as lifelong osteomalacia with reduced bone quality and impaired muscle structure and function. The clinical manifestations of the disease vary both in presentation and severity in affected individuals, and many of the consequences of childhood defects persist into adulthood, causing significant morbidity that impacts physical function and quality of life. Intervention to restore phosphate levels early in life during the critical stages of skeletal development in children with XLH could optimize growth and may prevent or reduce bone deformities in childhood. A healthier bone structure, together with improved muscle function, can lead to physical activity enhancing musculoskeletal health throughout life. In adults, continued management may help to maintain the positive effects acquired from childhood treatment, thereby slowing or halting disease progression. In this review, we summarize the opinions from members of a working group with expertise in pediatrics, epidemiology, and bone, joint and muscle biology, on potential outcomes for people with XLH, who have been optimally treated from an early age and continue treatment throughout life.

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
Because of their rarity, diseases characterized by chronic hypophosphatemia can be underrecognized and suboptimally managed, resulting in poor clinical outcomes. Moreover, serum phosphate may not be measured routinely in primary care practice. Authors participated in several working sessions to advance the understanding of phosphate homeostasis and the causes, consequences, and clinical implications of chronic hypophosphatemia. Phosphate levels are regulated from birth to adulthood. Dysregulation of phosphate homeostasis can result in hypophosphatemia, which becomes chronic if phosphate levels cannot be normalized. Chronic hypophosphatemia may be underrecognized as serum phosphate measurement is not always part of routine analysis in the primary care setting and results might be misinterpreted, for instance, due to age-specific differences not being accounted for and circadian variations. Clinical consequences of chronic hypophosphatemia involve disordered endocrine regulation, affect multiple organ systems, and vary depending on patient age and the underlying disorder. Signs and symptoms of chronic hypophosphatemic diseases that manifest during childhood or adolescence persist into adulthood if the disease is inadequately managed, resulting in an accumulation of clinical deficits and a progressive, debilitating impact on quality of life. Early identification and diagnosis of patients with chronic hypophosphatemia is crucial, and clinical management should be started as soon as possible to maximize the likelihood of improving health outcomes. Furthermore, in the absence of a universally accepted description for "chronic hypophosphatemia," a definition is proposed here that aims to raise awareness of these diseases, facilitate diagnosis, and guide optimal phosphate management strategies by improving monitoring and assessment of patient response to treatment. © 2021 The Authors.

ARCHIVES OF ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM 2021; 64:796-802. [PMID: 33049132 PMCID: PMC10528612 DOI: 10.20945/2359-3997000000296] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence of XLH in Paraná, a state in southern Brazil, and report the clinical features and complications of the disease. METHODS We invited all endocrinologists (n = 205), nephrologists (n = 221), orthopedic surgeons (n = 1020), and pediatricians (n = 1000) in Paraná to fill out an electronic survey with information on patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), and searched the records of the state's health department for all calcitriol prescriptions in 2018. RESULTS In all, 244 (10%) specialists responded to the email, of whom 18 (7.4%) reported to be taking care of patients with XLH and answered the online survey. A total of 57 patients with XLH were identified (prevalence 5 per million inhabitants). The median age at diagnosis was 22 years, and 42.2% were children and adolescents. Fifteen patients had genetic testing showing a PHEX mutation. Overall, 91.2% had bone deformities, 30.8% had a history of fragility fractures, and 22.4% had renal complications. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated a prevalence of XLH of 5 cases per million inhabitants in the state of Paraná, a rate lower than the one reported in other countries. Manifestations of renal calcification and bone fragility were frequent among the patients. This is the first epidemiological study evaluating the prevalence and clinical presentation of XLH in Latin America.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
Changing to burosumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting fibroblast growth factor 23, significantly improved phosphorus homeostasis, rickets, lower-extremity deformities, mobility, and growth versus continuing oral phosphate and active vitamin D (conventional therapy) in a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial involving children aged 1-12 years with X-linked hypophosphatemia. Patients were randomized (1:1) to subcutaneous burosumab or to continue conventional therapy. We present patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from this trial for children aged ≥ 5 years at screening (n = 35), using a Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire and SF-10 Health Survey for Children. PROMIS pain interference, physical function mobility, and fatigue scores improved from baseline with burosumab at weeks 40 and 64, but changed little with continued conventional therapy. Pain interference scores differed significantly between groups at week 40 (- 5.02, 95% CI - 9.29 to - 0.75; p = 0.0212) but not at week 64. Between-group differences were not significant at either week for physical function mobility or fatigue. Reductions in PROMIS pain interference and fatigue scores from baseline were clinically meaningful with burosumab at weeks 40 and 64 but not with conventional therapy. SF-10 physical health scores (PHS-10) improved significantly with burosumab at week 40 (least-squares mean [standard error] + 5.98 [1.79]; p = 0.0008) and week 64 (+ 5.93 [1.88]; p = 0.0016) but not with conventional therapy (between-treatment differences were nonsignificant). In conclusion, changing to burosumab improved PRO measures, with statistically significant differences in PROMIS pain interference at week 40 versus continuing with conventional therapy and in PHS-10 at weeks 40 and 64 versus baseline.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02915705.

Consensus Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of X-Linked Hypophosphatemia in Belgium. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2021; 12:641543.

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.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This systematic review collated evidence on the burden of XLH in adults. Data captured highlight the substantial ongoing burden of XLH in adulthood and identified unmet needs. Greater awareness and understanding of the impact of XLH in adulthood are needed to improve care and outcomes in adults with XLH. INTRODUCTION X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare metabolic bone disease characterized by renal phosphate wasting and musculoskeletal manifestations. Whilst the disease's impact in children is well documented, information on the effects of this progressive, debilitating condition on adults is lacking. This systematic review aimed to collate existing evidence on the burden of XLH in adulthood to identify unmet needs. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library databases and recent congress reports were searched on 19 February 2019 for English-language publications describing the medical, humanistic and socio-economic impact of XLH in adults (≥ 18 years old). In addition, a structured Internet search was conducted. RESULTS Of the 2351 articles identified, 91 met the selection criteria along with 44 congress abstracts. Data show that adults with XLH experience a range of clinical manifestations, particularly skeletal deformities and (pseudo)fractures, along with pain, dental abnormalities and impaired physical function and mobility. XLH in adulthood impacts on quality of life and places limitations on daily activities. The level of healthcare resource utilization among adults with XLH is indicative of substantial socio-economic burden; further research is needed to quantitate the economic impact on the healthcare system, society and patients. Adults with XLH may not receive appropriate care and treatment; a possible explanation for this is a lack of awareness among healthcare professionals. CONCLUSION XLH in adults is associated with considerable disease burden and unmet needs. Forthcoming studies and increased awareness of the impact of XLH in adulthood should help to improve management of XLH in adulthood and patient outcomes.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, hereditary, progressive musculoskeletal disease that often causes pain and short stature, as well as decreased physical function, mobility, and quality of life. Hypophosphatemia in XLH is caused by loss of function mutations in the phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene, resulting in excess levels of the phosphate-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which leads to renal phosphate wasting and decreased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production. Historically, treatment options were limited to oral phosphate and active vitamin D analogues (conventional management) dosed several times daily in an attempt to improve skeletal mineralization by increasing serum phosphorus. The recent approval of burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody to FGF23, has provided a new, targeted treatment option for patients with XLH. This review summarizes our current understanding of XLH, the safety and efficacy of conventional management and burosumab, existing recommendations for managing patients, and unanswered questions in the field.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungPatienten mit einer schweren, seltenen und komplexen Erkrankung benötigen das multiprofessionelle biopsychosoziale Betreuungskonzept eines Sozialpädiatrischen Zentrums für chronisch kranke Kinder und Jugendliche. Am Beispiel der Multiorganerkrankung X‑chromosomale Hypophosphatämie (XLH), der häufigsten angeborenen Rachitisform, wird das Betreuungskonzept dargestellt.Der Erkrankung liegen inaktivierende Mutationen im „Phosphate-regulating gene with Homologies to Endopeptidases on the X‑chromosome“(PHEX)-Gen zugrunde, die zu einer vermehrten Synthese und Sekretion des Fibroblastenwachstumsfaktors 23 (FGF23) führen. FGF23 hat eine wichtige Funktion in der Phosphathomöostase. Durch die hohen FGF23-Konzentrationen kommt es über den renalen Phosphatverlust zur schweren Hypophosphatämie mit der Folge erheblicher Mineralisationsstörungen des Skelettsystems und der Zähne. Stand bis vor Kurzem nur eine konventionelle medikamentöse Therapie aus Phosphat und aktivem Vitamin D zur Verfügung, so ist nun mit dem neutralisierenden FGF23-Antikörper eine gezielte Therapie der Erkrankung möglich. Das multiprofessionelle Betreuungskonzept umfasst zahlreiche ärztliche Spezialisten und ein psychosoziales Team. Ziel der Betreuung ist es, den Patienten mit ihrer schweren chronischen Erkrankung eine altersentsprechende Partizipation ohne größere Teilhabestörung zu ermöglichen. Die Fortsetzung der Betreuung im Erwachsenenalter muss durch eine implementierte Transition sichergestellt werden.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by increased activity of circulating FGF23 resulting in renal phosphate wasting and abnormal bone mineralization. Hyperparathyroidism may develop in XLH patients; however, its prevalence, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation are not documented. This observational study (CNIL 171036 v 0) recruited XLH adult patients in a single tertiary referral center. Each patient was explored in standardized conditions and compared with two healthy volunteers, matched for sex, age, and 25-OH vitamin D concentrations. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with hyperparathyroidism. The secondary endpoints were the factors influencing serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations and the prevalence of hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism. Sixty-eight patients (51 women, 17 men) were enrolled and matched with 136 healthy volunteers. Patients had higher PTH concentrations compared with healthy controls (53.5 ng/L, interquartile range [IQR] 36.7-72.7 versus 36.0 ng/L, IQR 27.7-44.0, p < .0001). Hyperparathyroidism was observed in 17 patients of 68 (25%). In patients, a positive relationship between PTH and calcium concentrations and a negative relationship between PTH and phosphate concentrations were observed. Seven (10%) patients (3 premenopausal women, 1 postmenopausal woman, and 3 men) were diagnosed with hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism. All underwent parathyroid surgery, with consecutive normalization of calcium and PTH concentrations. Hyperparathyroidism is a frequent complication in XLH adult patients. Disruption of the physiological regulation of PTH secretion contributes to parathyroid disease. Early-onset hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism can be effectively and safely cured by surgical resection. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is the most common cause of inherited phosphate wasting and is associated with severe complications such as rickets, lower limb deformities, pain, poor mineralization of the teeth and disproportionate short stature in children as well as hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia, enthesopathies, osteoarthritis and pseudofractures in adults. The characteristics and severity of XLH vary between patients. Because of its rarity, the diagnosis and specific treatment of XLH are frequently delayed, which has a detrimental effect on patient outcomes. In this Evidence-Based Guideline, we recommend that the diagnosis of XLH is based on signs of rickets and/or osteomalacia in association with hypophosphataemia and renal phosphate wasting in the absence of vitamin D or calcium deficiency. Whenever possible, the diagnosis should be confirmed by molecular genetic analysis or measurement of levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) before treatment. Owing to the multisystemic nature of the disease, patients should be seen regularly by multidisciplinary teams organized by a metabolic bone disease expert. In this article, we summarize the current evidence and provide recommendations on features of the disease, including new treatment modalities, to improve knowledge and provide guidance for diagnosis and multidisciplinary care. In this Evidence-Based Guideline on X-linked hypophosphataemia, the authors identify the criteria for diagnosis of this disease, provide guidance for medical and surgical treatment and explain the challenges of follow-up.

Abstract
Early diagnosis, optimal therapeutic management and regular follow up of children with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) determine their long term outcomes and future quality of life. Biochemical screening of potentially affected newborns in familial cases and improving physician's knowledge on clinical signs, symptoms and biochemical characteristics of XLH for de novo cases should lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment initiation. The follow-up of children with XLH includes clinical, biochemical and radiological monitoring of treatment (efficacy and complications) and screening for XLH-related dental, neurosurgical, rheumatological, cardiovascular, renal and ENT complications. In 2018, the European Union approved the use of burosumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-FGF23 antibody, as an alternative therapy to conventional therapy (active vitamin D analogues and phosphate supplements) in growing children with XLH and insufficiently controlled disease. Diagnostic criteria of XLH and the principles of disease management with conventional treatment or with burosumab are reviewed in this paper.

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.

Abstract
FGF23 is an important hormonal regulator of phosphate homeostasis. Together with its co-receptor Klotho, it modulates phosphate reabsorption and both 1α-hydroxylation and 24-hydroxylation in the renal proximal tubules. The most common FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemia is X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), caused by mutations in the PHEX gene. FGF23-mediated forms of hypophosphatemia are characterized by phosphaturia and low or low-normal calcitriol concentrations, and unlike nutritional rickets, these cannot be cured with nutritional vitamin D supplementation. Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms of FGF23-mediated hypophosphatemias show a similar pathophysiology, despite a variety of different underlying genetic causes. An excess of FGF23 activity has also been associated with a number of other conditions causing hypophosphatemia, including tumor-induced osteomalacia, fibrous dysplasia of the bone, and cutaneous skeletal hypophosphatemia syndrome. Historically phosphate supplementation and therapy using analogs of highly active vitamin D (eg, calcitriol, alfacalcidol, paricalcitol, eldecalcitol) have been used to manage conditions involving hypophosphatemia; however, recently a neutralizing antibody for FGF23 (burosumab) has emerged as a promising treatment agent for FGF23-mediated disorders. This review discusses the progression of clinical trials for burosumab for the treatment of XLH and its recent availability for clinical use. Burosumab may have potential for treating other conditions associated with FGF23 overactivity, but these are not yet supported by trial data. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
CONTEXT X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), hypophosphatemia, skeletal abnormalities, and growth impairment. We aimed to understand the burden of disease of XLH across the lifespan. METHODS Responses were collected from adults with XLH and parents/caregivers of a child with XLH in an online survey, including multiple-choice and open-ended questions on demographics, disease manifestations, treatment history, assistive device use, and age-specific patient-reported outcomes (PROs). RESULTS Data were collected from 232 adults with XLH (mean age, 45.6 years; 76% female) and 90 parents/caregivers of a child with XLH (mean age, 9.1 years; 56% female). Mean age recalled for symptom onset was 3.2 years for adults and 1.3 years for children. When surveyed, nearly all children (99%) and 64% of adults were receiving oral phosphate, active vitamin D, or both. Prior participation in a trial investigating burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, was reported in 3% of children and 10% of adults; of these respondents, only one child reported current treatment with burosumab at the time of the survey. Both children and adults reported typical features of XLH, including abnormal gait (84% and 86%, respectively), bowing of the tibia/fibula (72% and 77%), and short stature (80% and 86%). Nearly all adults (97%) and children (80%) reported bone or joint pain/stiffness. Adults reported a history of fractures (n/N = 102/232; 44%), with a mean (SD) age at first fracture of 26 (16) years. Adults reported osteophytes (46%), enthesopathy (27%), and spinal stenosis (19%). Mean scores for PROs evaluating pain, stiffness, and physical function were worse than population norms. Analgesics were taken at least once a week by 67% of adults. CONCLUSIONS Despite the common use of oral phosphate and active vitamin D established in the 1980s, children with XLH demonstrate a substantial disease burden, including pain and impaired physical functioning that persists, as demonstrated by similar responses reported in adults with XLH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the evidence from recent studies on the shared genetics between bone and muscle in humans. RECENT FINDINGS Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified a multitude of loci influencing the variability of different bone or muscle parameters, with multiple loci overlapping between the traits. In addition, joint analyses of multiple correlated musculoskeletal traits (i.e., multivariate GWAS) have underscored several genes with possible pleiotropic effects on both bone and muscle including MEF2C and SREBF1. Notably, several of the proposed pleiotropic genes have been validated using human cells or animal models. It is clear that the study of pleiotropy may provide novel insights into disease pathophysiology potentially leading to the identification of new treatment strategies that simultaneously prevent or treat both osteoporosis and sarcopenia. However, the role of muscle factors (myokines) that stimulate bone metabolism, as well as osteokines that affect muscles, is in its earliest stage of understanding.

Abstract
Background X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is an inherited disease of phosphate metabolism in which inactivating mutations of the Phosphate Regulating Endopeptidase Homolog, X-Linked (PHEX) gene lead to local and systemic effects including impaired growth, rickets, osteomalacia, bone abnormalities, bone pain, spontaneous dental abscesses, hearing difficulties, enthesopathy, osteoarthritis, and muscular dysfunction. Patients with XLH present with elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which is thought to mediate many of the aforementioned manifestations of the disease. Elevated FGF23 has also been observed in many other diseases of hypophosphatemia, and a range of animal models have been developed to study these diseases, yet the role of FGF23 in the pathophysiology of XLH is incompletely understood. Methods The role of FGF23 in the pathophysiology of XLH is here reviewed by describing what is known about phenotypes associated with various PHEX mutations, animal models of XLH, and non-nutritional diseases of hypophosphatemia, and by presenting molecular pathways that have been proposed to contribute to manifestations of XLH. Results The pathophysiology of XLH is complex, involving a range of molecular pathways that variously contribute to different manifestations of the disease. Hypophosphatemia due to elevated FGF23 is the most obvious contributor, however localised fluctuations in tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), pyrophosphate, calcitriol and direct effects of FGF23 have been observed to be associated with certain manifestations. Conclusions By describing what is known about these pathways, this review highlights key areas for future research that would contribute to the understanding and clinical treatment of non-nutritional diseases of hypophosphatemia, particularly XLH.

Abstract
The most common heritable disorder of renal phosphate wasting, X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH), was discovered to be caused by inactivating mutations in the phosphate regulating gene with homology to endopeptidases on the X-chromosome (PHEX) gene in 1995. Although the exact molecular mechanisms by which PHEX mutations cause disturbed phosphate handling in XLH remain unknown, focus for novel therapies has more recently been based upon the finding that the bone-produced phosphaturic hormone fibroblast growth factor-23 is elevated in XLH patient plasma. Previous treatment strategies for XLH were based upon phosphate repletion plus active vitamin D analogues, which are difficult to manage, fail to address the primary pathogenesis of the disease, and can have deleterious side effects. A novel therapy for XLH directly targeting fibroblast growth factor-23 via a humanized monoclonal antibody (burosumab-twza/CRYSVITA, henceforth referred to just as burosumab) has emerged as an effective, and recently approved, pharmacological treatment for both children and adults. This review will provide an overview of the clinical manifestations of XLH, the molecular pathophysiology, and summarize its current treatment.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle dysfunction accompanies the clinical disorders of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets. In both disorders, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a bone-derived hormone regulating phosphate and vitamin D metabolism, becomes chronically elevated. FGF23 has been shown to play a direct role in cardiac muscle dysfunction; however, it is unknown whether FGF23 signaling can also directly induce skeletal muscle dysfunction. We found expression of potential FGF23 receptors ( Fgfr1-4) and α-Klotho in muscles of two animal models (CD-1 and Cy/+ rat, a naturally occurring rat model of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder) as well as C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes. C2C12 proliferation, myogenic gene expression, oxidative stress marker 8-OHdG, intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), and ex vivo contractility of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) or soleus muscles were assessed after treatment with various amounts of FGF23. FGF23 (2-100 ng/ml) did not alter C2C12 proliferation, expression of myogenic genes, or oxidative stress after 24- to 72-h treatment. Acute or prolonged FGF23 treatment up to 6 days did not alter C2C12 [Ca2+]i handling, nor did acute treatment with FGF23 (9-100 ng/ml) affect EDL and soleus muscle contractility. In conclusion, although skeletal muscles express the receptors involved in FGF23-mediated signaling, in vitro FGF23 treatments failed to directly alter skeletal muscle development or function under the conditions tested. We hypothesize that other endogenous substances may be required to act in concert with FGF23 or apart from FGF23 to promote muscle dysfunction in hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets and CKD.

Abstract
In X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), inherited loss-of-function mutations in the PHEX gene cause excess circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), leading to lifelong renal phosphate wasting and hypophosphatemia. Adults with XLH present with chronic musculoskeletal pain and stiffness, short stature, lower limb deformities, fractures, and pseudofractures due to osteomalacia, accelerated osteoarthritis, dental abscesses, and enthesopathy. Burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, binds and inhibits FGF23 to correct hypophosphatemia. This report summarizes results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of burosumab in symptomatic adults with XLH. Participants with hypophosphatemia and pain were assigned 1:1 to burosumab 1 mg/kg (n = 68) or placebo (n = 66) subcutaneously every 4 weeks (Q4W) and were comparable at baseline. Across midpoints of dosing intervals, 94.1% of burosumab-treated participants attained mean serum phosphate concentration above the lower limit of normal compared with 7.6% of those receiving placebo (p < 0.001). Burosumab significantly reduced the Western Ontario and the McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) stiffness subscale compared with placebo (least squares [LS] mean ± standard error [SE] difference, -8.1 ± 3.24; p = 0.012). Reductions in WOMAC physical function subscale (-4.9 ± 2.48; p = 0.048) and Brief Pain Inventory worst pain (-0.5 ± 0.28; p = 0.092) did not achieve statistical significance after Hochberg multiplicity adjustment. At week 24, 43.1% (burosumab) and 7.7% (placebo) of baseline active fractures were fully healed; the odds of healed fracture in the burosumab group was 16.8-fold greater than that in the placebo group (p < 0.001). Biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption increased significantly from baseline with burosumab treatment compared with placebo. The safety profile of burosumab was similar to placebo. There were no treatment-related serious adverse events or meaningful changes from baseline in serum or urine calcium, intact parathyroid hormone, or nephrocalcinosis. These data support the conclusion that burosumab is a novel therapeutic addressing an important medical need in adults with XLH.© 2018 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of heat applied for 8 hours immediately after or 24 hours after exercise on delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in large skeletal muscle groups measured by subjective and objective means. DESIGN Cross-sectional repeated measure design study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS Three groups of 20 subjects, age range 20 to 40 years. INTERVENTION Squats were conducted in three 5-minute bouts to initiate DOMS; 3 minutes of rest separated the bouts. One group had heat applied immediately after exercise, and a second group had heat applied 24 hours after exercise. A third group was the control group where no heat was applied. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Visual analog pain scales, muscle strength of quads, range of motion of quads, stiffness of quads (Continuous Passive Motion machine), algometer to measure quadriceps soreness, and blood myoglobin. RESULTS The most significant outcome was a reduction in soreness in the group that had low-temperature heat wraps applied immediately after exercise (P < 0.01). There was benefit to applying heat 24 hours after exercise, but to a smaller extent. This was corroborated by myoglobin, algometer, and stiffness data. CONCLUSIONS Low-level continuous heat wraps left for 8 hours just after heavy exercise reduced DOMS in the population tested as assessed by subjective and objective measures. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although cold is commonly used after heavy exercise to reduce soreness, heat applied just after exercise seems very effective in reducing soreness. Unlike cold, it increases flexibility of tissue and tissue blood flow. For joint, it is still probably better to use cold to reduce swelling.

Abstract
Hypophosphatemia can lead to muscle weakness and respiratory and heart failure, but the mechanism is unknown. To address this question, we noninvasively assessed rates of muscle ATP synthesis in hypophosphatemic mice by using in vivo saturation transfer [31P]-magnetic resonance spectroscopy. By using this approach, we found that basal and insulin-stimulated rates of muscle ATP synthetic flux (VATP) and plasma inorganic phosphate (Pi) were reduced by 50% in mice with diet-induced hypophosphatemia as well as in sodium-dependent Pi transporter solute carrier family 34, member 1 (NaPi2a)-knockout (NaPi2a-/-) mice compared with their wild-type littermate controls. Rates of VATP normalized in both hypophosphatemic groups after restoring plasma Pi concentrations. Furthermore, VATP was directly related to cellular and mitochondrial Pi uptake in L6 and RC13 rodent myocytes and isolated muscle mitochondria. Similar findings were observed in a patient with chronic hypophosphatemia as a result of a mutation in SLC34A3 who had a 50% reduction in both serum Pi content and muscle VATP After oral Pi repletion and normalization of serum Pi levels, muscle VATP completely normalized in the patient. Taken together, these data support the hypothesis that decreased muscle ATP synthesis, in part, may be caused by low blood Pi concentrations, which may explain some aspects of muscle weakness observed in patients with hypophosphatemia.-Pesta, D.

Abstract
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is characterized by lower extremity deformities that lead to bone and/or joint pain that result from decreased renal tubular reabsorption leading to hypophosphatemia caused by elevated levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). Objective Validate the use of SF-36v2 Health Survey (SF-36v2) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) to measure previously unstudied health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in XLH patients and determine the change in HRQoL before and after treatment with KRN23, a human monoclonal anti-FGF23 antibody. Methods Twenty-eight adult outpatients with XLH received up to four doses of KRN23 administered subcutaneously every 28 days. General HRQoL was measured with the SF-36v2 and condition-related HRQoL with the WOMAC at baseline and study endpoint as a secondary outcome of a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation trial. Results Testing for scale discriminant validity and convergent-divergent validity supported the use of these scales in the assessment of HRQoL in XLH. Both instruments indicated impairment of physical function at baseline with all mean scores showing a trend to improved health at study endpoint compared to baseline. When corrected for multiple comparisons, the score for Role Limitations due to physical health on the SF-36v2 which measures the patient's perception of their own chronic functional impairments due to poor physical health remained significantly improved (P < 0.05), increasing to the mean score of US adults. For the WOMAC, Physical Functioning and Stiffness scores were significantly improved (P < 0.05). Conclusion KRN23 administration was associated with significantly improved patient perception of their Physical Functioning and Stiffness due to their disease. This study demonstrates that the SF-36v2 and WOMAC are valid tools for assessing HRQoL in XLH. Quality of life was assessed in 26 XLH patients before and after 4 months of treatment with KRN23. All mean scores showed a trend of improved health after 4 doses of KRN23 treatment. Role limitations due to physical health was significantly improved after multiplicity correction. Patient reported outcomes can provide valuable information in evaluating new treatments for XLH.

Abstract
Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets (ARHR) is a heritable disorder characterized by hypophosphatemia, osteomalacia, and poor bone development. ARHR results from inactivating mutations in the DMP1 gene with the human phenotype being recapitulated in the Dmp1 null mouse model which displays elevated plasma fibroblast growth factor 23. While the bone phenotype has been well-characterized, it is not known what effects ARHR may also have on skeletal, cardiac, or vascular smooth muscle function, which is critical to understand in order to treat patients suffering from this condition. In this study, the extensor digitorum longus (EDL-fast-twitch muscle), soleus (SOL–slow-twitch muscle), heart, and aorta were removed from Dmp1 null mice and ex-vivo functional tests were simultaneously performed in collaboration by three different laboratories. Dmp1 null EDL and SOL muscles produced less force than wildtype muscles after normalization for physiological cross sectional area of the muscles. Both EDL and SOL muscles from Dmp1 null mice also produced less force after the addition of caffeine (which releases calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum) which may indicate problems in excitation contraction coupling in these mice. While the body weights of the Dmp1 null were smaller than wildtype, the heart weight to body weight ratio was higher. However, there were no differences in pathological hypertrophic gene expression compared to wildtype and maximal force of contraction was not different indicating that there may not be cardiac pathology under the tested conditions. We did observe a decrease in the rate of force development generated by cardiac muscle in the Dmp1 null which may be related to some of the deficits observed in skeletal muscle. There were no differences observed in aortic contractions induced by PGF2α or 5-HT or in endothelium-mediated acetylcholine-induced relaxations or endothelium-independent sodium nitroprusside-induced relaxations. In summary, these results indicate that there are deficiencies in both fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fiber type contractions in this model of ARHR, while there was less of a phenotype observed in cardiac muscle, and no differences observed in aortic function. These results may help explain skeletal muscle weakness reported by some patients with osteomalacia and need to be further investigated.

Abstract
Massively parallel sequencing of whole genomes and exomes has facilitated a direct assessment of causative genetic variation, now enabling the identification of genetic factors involved in rare diseases (RD) with Mendelian inheritance patterns on an almost routine basis. Here, we describe the illustrative case of a single consanguineous family where this strategy suffered from the difficulty to distinguish between two etiologically distinct disorders, namely the co-occurrence of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets (HRR) and congenital myopathies (CM), by their phenotypic manifestation alone. We used parametric linkage analysis, homozygosity mapping and whole exome-sequencing to identify mutations underlying HRR and CM. We also present an approximate approach for assessing the probability of co-occurrence of two unlinked recessive RD in a single family as a function of the degree of consanguinity and the frequency of the disease-causing alleles. Linkage analysis and homozygosity mapping yielded elusive results when assuming a single RD, but whole-exome sequencing helped to identify two mutations in two genes, namely SLC34A3 and SEPN1, that segregated independently in this family and that have previously been linked to two etiologically different diseases. We assess the increase in chance co-occurrence of rare diseases due to consanguinity, i.e. under circumstances that generally favor linkage mapping of recessive disease, and show that this probability can increase by several orders of magnitudes. We conclude that such potential co-occurrence represents an underestimated risk when analyzing rare or undefined diseases in consanguineous families and should be given more consideration in the clinical and genetic evaluation.

Abstract
CONTEXT Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type I is a heritable bone fragility disorder that is caused by mutations affecting collagen type I. We recently showed that patients with OI type I frequently have muscle weakness. As muscle force and bone mass are usually closely related, we hypothesized that muscle weakness in OI type I could contribute to increase bone mass deficit in the lower extremities. OBJECTIVE To assess the muscle-bone relationship in the lower extremities of children and adolescents with OI type I. SETTING The study was carried out in the outpatients department of a pediatric orthopedic hospital. Patients and other participants Thirty children and adolescents with OI type I (20 females; mean age [SD]: 11.2 years [3.9]) were compared with 30 healthy age- and sex-matched controls (mean age [SD]: 11.1 years [4.5]). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Tibia bone mineral content (BMC; mg/mm) was measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography to estimate bone strength at the 4% and 14% sites. Lower extremity peak force (kN) was measured by mechanography using the multiple two-legged hopping test. RESULTS Compared with age- and sex-matched controls, patients with OI type I had 17% lower peak force (1.3 kN vs. 1.7 kN; p=0.002) as well as a 22% lower BMC (128 mg/mm vs. 165 mg/mm; p<0.001). Stepwise regression analysis showed that muscle force and tibia length were positively related to bone strength (r(2)=0.90, p<0.001) whereas there was no effect of the disease status (OI vs. control). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the muscle-bone relationship is similar between children and adolescents with OI type I and healthy age and sex-matched controls. It also suggests that muscle weakness may contribute to decreased bone strength in individuals with OI type I.

Abstract
In 2007, International Society of Clinical Densitometry Pediatric Positions Task Forces reviewed the evidence for the clinical application of peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) in children and adolescents. At that time, numerous limitations regarding the clinical application of pQCT were identified, although its use as a research modality for investigation of bone strength was highlighted. The present report provides an updated review of evidence for the clinical application of pQCT, as well as additional reviews of whole body QCT scans of the central and peripheral skeletons, and high-resolution pQCT in children. Although these techniques remain in the domain of research, this report summarizes the recent literature and evidence of the clinical applicability and offers general recommendations regarding the use of these modalities in pediatric bone health assessment.

Abstract
CONTEXT Results of previous studies suggested that children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type I have a muscle force deficit. However, muscle function has only been assessed by static isometric force tests and not in more natural conditions such as dynamic force and power tests. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess lower extremity dynamic muscle function and muscle anatomy in OI type I. SETTING The study was performed in the outpatient department of a pediatric orthopedic hospital. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS A total of 54 individuals with OI type I (6-21 years; 20 male) and 54 age- and sex-matched controls took part in this study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Calf muscle cross-sectional area and density were measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Lower extremity muscle function (peak force per body weight and peak power per body mass) was measured by jumping mechanography through 5 tests: multiple two-legged hopping, multiple one-legged hopping, single two-legged jump, chair-rise test, and heel-rise test. RESULTS Compared with age- and sex-matched controls, patients with OI type I had smaller muscle size (P = .04) but normal muscle density (P = .21). They also had lower average peak force and lower specific force (peak force/muscle cross-sectional area; all P < .008). Average peak power was lower in patients with OI type I but not significantly so (all P > .054). CONCLUSIONS Children and adolescents with OI type I have, on average, a significant force deficit in the lower limb as measured by dynamic force tests. Nonetheless, these data also show that OI type I is compatible with normal muscle performance in some individuals.

Abstract
CONTEXT We recently found that patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) have a muscle function deficit in the lower extremities. As muscle force and bone mass are usually closely related, we hypothesized that patients with XLH could also have a bone mass deficit in the lower extremities. OBJECTIVE The study objective was to assess the muscle-bone relationship in the lower extremities of patients with XLH. SETTING The study was carried out in the outpatients department of a pediatric orthopedic hospital. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS Thirty individuals with XLH (6 to 60 y; 9 male patients) and 30 age- and gender-matched controls participated. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Calf muscle size and density as well as tibia bone mass and geometry were assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Muscle function was evaluated as peak force in the multiple 2-legged hopping test. RESULTS Muscle force was significantly lower in XLH patients than in controls but muscle cross-sectional area did not differ (after adjustment for tibia length). External bone size, expressed as total bone cross-sectional area, was higher in the XLH group than in controls. The XLH cohort also had statistically significantly higher bone mineral content. CONCLUSIONS Patients with XLH have increased bone mass and size at the distal tibia despite muscle function deficits.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Description of the recent advances on the regulation of phosphate metabolism, gene mutations, and new approaches to treatment in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets. RECENT FINDINGS Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) overproduction may be a primary cause of hypophosphatemic rickets. Inactivating mutations of phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome, dentin matrix acidic phosphoprotein 1, and ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 are associated with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets 1, and autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets 2, respectively. Activating mutations of FGF23 gene is the cause of autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets. Iron deficiency may affect autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets phenotype by regulating FGF23 production.Current treatment with activated vitamin D metabolites and oral inorganic phosphate salts may partially correct skeletal lesions and linear growth in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets. However, some patients have poor improvement by the current treatment. SUMMARY Identification of the causative mutation in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets may be useful to confirm the diagnosis and probably for prognosis. Inhibition of FGF23 overproduction by anti-FGF23 neutralizing antibodies could be a future approach for treatment of patients with FGF23-dependent hypophosphatemic rickets.
