Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited, systemic disease caused by mutation(s) of the ALPL gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP), resulting in deficient ALP activity. Asfotase alfa is an enzyme replacement therapy approved for treatment of patients with pediatric-onset HPP. The global HPP Registry is an observational, prospective, multinational study (NCT02306720; EUPAS13514) established to collect real world clinical data from patients of a...

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...
