Background: Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets (HHR) is a rare genetic disease characterized by renal phosphate wasting, caused by elevated circulating FGF23. Despite the current available treatment complications include short stature, hyperparathyroidism, pseudofractures, bone pain, bone demineralization and osteoporosis, nephrocalcinosis and enthesopathies. Elevated circulating FGF23 was recently involved in glucose metabolism and cardiovascular function.<p class="abste...

Background: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited metabolic disease characterised by bone mineralisation defects and osteomalacia, and systemic manifestations, including seizures, respiratory insufficiency, muscle weakness, nephrocalcinosis, and pain. The biochemical hallmark of HPP is low serum alkaline phosphatase activity, resulting from loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase. HPP presents a broad spectrum of disease s...

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited metabolic disease caused by deficient activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). In children, HPP has a heterogeneous clinical presentation, frequently with nonspecific musculoskeletal and systemic manifestations, often leading to misdiagnoses and substantial delays in diagnosis. Data from 323 children with confirmed HPP diagnosis (aged <18 years, ALP activity below the reference range and/or ALPL mut...

Background: The SCOPE French retrospective study follows children affected with growth hormone (GH) disorders treated with recombinant human GH (r-hGH) therapy via the easypod® connected injection device for up to 5 years.Aim: To show the results from an interim analysis of the SCOPE study analysing adherence to r-hGH therapy in a real-world setting and its effect on catch-up growth.Met...

Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare, progressive, phosphate-wasting disorder that compromises skeletal development in childhood. The international XLH registry (NCT03193476) is a non-interventional, observational, real-world data collection programme established in August 2017 in Europe and Israel, with enrolment open to patients of any age with XLH.Objectives: To describe real-world registry data on HR...

Background: The Study and Collection of Observational data for Patients with easypod® Connect (SCOPE) French retrospective study follows children with growth disorders treated with recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) therapy via the easypod® connected injection device for up to 5 years.Aim: To show the results from the SCOPE study analysing the adherence to r-hGH therapy in a real-world setting and its effec...

Introduction: XLH is caused by mutations in PHEX leading to increased FGF23 levels, phosphate wasting, and impaired endogenous calcitriol synthesis. Affected patients present with rickets and diminished growth velocity during childhood, and osteomalacia and short stature in adulthood. Adult height is linked with health within and across generations suggesting that adult height may be a potential tool for monitoring health conditions, e.g., XLH.<p ...

In children with XLH, excess FGF23 causes hypophosphatemia with consequent rickets, skeletal deformities, and impaired growth and mobility. We previously reported that burosumab improved phosphate homeostasis and rickets in children with XLH. Here, we report final data from this Phase 2 Study CL201 (NCT02163577).Fifty-two children with XLH (5-12 years old, Tanner ≤ 2) were randomized 1:1 to receive subcutaneous burosumab every 2 (Q2W) or 4 (Q4W) we...

In children with XLH, excess FGF23 causes hypophosphatemia with consequent rickets, skeletal deformities, and impaired growth and mobility. We reported that burosumab improved phosphate homeostasis and rickets in children with XLH. Here, we present data on 11/52 subjects (all girls) who developed fused growth plates during the phase 2 study CL201 (NCT02163577).In CL201, 52 subjects (Baseline: 5-12 years-old, Tanner ≤ 2) were randomized 1:1 to recei...

Background/Aim: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare disease caused by mutations in PHEX, leading to elevated FGF23 levels, hypophosphatemia and chronic renal phosphate wasting. Burosumab is a monoclonal antibody against anti-FGF23, which has been recently approved for treatment of XLH. Beyond clinical trials, little is known about its efficacy/safety in clinical practice which is the aim of study.Patients/Methods: ...
