Background: X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in PHEX gene and characterized by low phosphate levels and impaired bone mineralization. Burosumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), has emerged as a crucial therapy for XLH management, increasing serum phosphate levels and improving bone health. Recent studies indicate that inflammation may play a crucial role in the XLH complications...
