Introduction: The European Registries for Rare Bone and Mineral Conditions (EuRR-Bone) were created in collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Bone Conditions (ERN-BOND). EuRR-Bone collects data using 2 platforms: e-REC, a tool that captures the occurrence of bone and mineral conditions, and the Core Registry which collects a set of Core Data Elements as well as longitudinal patient and clinician reported outcomes in condition specific modules. Until December 2022, 188 cases of fibrous dysplasia/McCune Albright syndrome were registered in e-REC.

Methods: The study group on Fibrous Dysplasia McCune-Albright Syndrome(FD/MAS) developed a disease-specific dataset including demographic, diagnostic and clinical outcomes including Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs). Built within the Core Registry platform, this module is open for contributors (ERN and non-ERN members) to register new and existing cases of FD/MAS since April 2022.

Results: Until March 2023, 92 cases of FD/MAS had been registered in the Core Registry by 4 centres from 4 European countries. The median age of patients in the Core Registry was 39 years (range 1-76) with 8 patients (8.6%) in the range of 0-17 years and 84 (91.3%) ≥18 years. The median age at condition onset and diagnosis were 0 (range 0-56) and 27 (range 0-67) years respectively. The median time to diagnosis in months was 242 (range 0-707). Of 92 cases, 24 (26%) had polyostotic FD, 40 (44%) had monostotic FD, 8 (9%) had an unespecified form of FD, 16 (17%) had MAS and 4 (4%) had Mazabraud syndrome. Disease specific outcomes have been completed for 11/92 (12%) patients. FD related musculoskeletal outcomes were reported as follows: pain at FD site in 7 (64%) patients, fractures in 6 (54%) patients, limb deformities in 3 (27%) and scoliosis in 6 (36%). Past and current bone related medication such as oral and intravenous bisphosphonates and denosumab were used in 6 (55%) and 4 (36%) patients respectively, with pain being the indication in all cases.

Conclusion: The use of a Core Data set in combination with a disease-specific dataset developed by healthcare providers and patient representatives, can provide insight on the natural history and clinical outcomes of rare diseases such as FD/MAS. To date, patients and data have been entered by a small number of centres. Healthcare professionals and patients should be encouraged to participate while addressing the challenges this might represent.
