  • Hypophosphatasia Could Explain Some Atypical Femur Fractures
    Hypophosphatasia Could Explain Some Atypical Femur Fractures What we know Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare genetic disease that affects the development of bones and teeth in children (Whyte 1985). HPP is caused by the absence or reduced amount of an enzyme called tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TAP), also called bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP). The absence of TAP raises the level of inorganic pyrophosphate (Pi), which prevents calcium and phosphate from creating strong, mineralized bone. Without TAP, bones can become weak. In its severe form, HPP is fatal and happens in 1/100,000 births. Because HPP is genetic, it can appear in adults as well. A recent study has identified a milder, more common form of HPP that occurs in 4 of 1000 adults (Dahir 2018). This form of HPP is usually seen in early middle aged adults who have low bone density and sometimes have stress fractures in the feet or thigh bone. Sometimes these patients lose their baby teeth early, but not always. HPP is diagnosed by measuring blood levels of TAP and vitamin B6. An elevated vitamin B6 level [serum pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)] (Whyte 1985) in a patient with a TAP level ≤40 or in the low end of normal can be diagnosed with HPP. Almost half of the adult patients with HPP in the large study had TAP >40, but in the lower end of the normal range (Dahir 2018). The connection between hypophosphatasia and osteoporosis Some people who have stress fractures get a bone density test and are treated with an osteoporosis medicine if their bone density results are low.

  • Establishment of a Dental Effects of Hypophosphatasia Registry Thesis
    Establishment of a Dental Effects of Hypophosphatasia Registry Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Laura Winslow, DMD Graduate Program in Dentistry The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee Ann Griffen, DDS, MS, Advisor Sasigarn Bowden, MD Brian Foster, PhD Copyrighted by Jennifer Laura Winslow, D.M.D. 2018 Abstract Purpose: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a metabolic disease that affects development of mineralized tissues including the dentition. Early loss of primary teeth is a nearly universal finding, and although problems in the permanent dentition have been reported, findings have not been described in detail. In addition, enzyme replacement therapy is now available, but very little is known about its effects on the dentition. HPP is rare and few dental providers see many cases, so a registry is needed to collect an adequate sample to represent the range of manifestations and the dental effects of enzyme replacement therapy. Devising a way to recruit patients nationally while still meeting the IRB requirements for human subjects research presented multiple challenges. Methods: A way to recruit patients nationally while still meeting the local IRB requirements for human subjects research was devised in collaboration with our Office of Human Research. The solution included pathways for obtaining consent and transferring protected information, and required that the clinician providing the clinical data refer the patient to the study and interact with study personnel only after the patient has given permission. Data forms and a custom database application were developed. Results: The registry is established and has been successfully piloted with 2 participants, and we are now initiating wider recruitment.

  • Hypophosphatasia: Current Literature for Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Treatment
    Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.8594 Hypophosphatasia: Current Literature for Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Treatment Abdulai Bangura 1 , Lisa Wright 2 , Thomas Shuler 2 1. Department of Research, Trinity School of Medicine, Ratho Mill, VCT 2. Department of Orthopaedics, Carilion Clinic, Roanoke, USA Corresponding author: Abdulai Bangura, [email protected] Abstract Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited bone disorder identified by impaired bone mineralization. There are seven subtypes of HPP mainly characterized by their age of onset. These subtypes consist of perinatal (prenatal) benign, perinatal lethal, infantile, childhood, adult, odontohypophosphatasia, and pseudohypophosphatasia. Due to limited awareness of the condition, either misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis is common. Furthermore, the condition is frequently treated with contraindicated drugs. This literature illustrates the most recent findings on the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosing, and treatment for HPP and its subtypes. The etiology of the disease consists of loss-of-function mutations of the ALPL gene on chromosome one, which encodes for tissue nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). A decrease of TNAP reduces inorganic phosphate (Pi) for bone mineralization and allows for an increase in inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and phosphorylated osteopontin (p-OPN), which further reduces bone mineralization. The combination of these processes softens bone and mediates a clinical presentation similar to rickets/osteomalacia. HPP has an additional wide range of clinical features depending on its subtype. Although a concrete diagnostic guideline has not yet been established, many studies have supported a similar method of identifying HPP. Clinical features, radiological findings, and/or biomarker levels of the disorder should raise suspicion and encourage the inclusion of HPP as a differential diagnosis.

In the present paper, similar studies will be reported on a patient who presented a condition suggestive of idiopathic hyperparathyroidism. CASE HISTORY The patient, Mr. C. M., sea captain, aged 30, was transferred from the Bellevue Hospital Service to the Special Study Ward of the Massachusetts General Hospital through the courtesy of Dr. Eugene F. DuBois, for further investigation of his calcium metabolism and for consideration of parathyroidectomy. His complete case history has been reported by Hannon, Shorr, McClellan and DuBois (2). It describes a man invalided for over three years with symptoms resulting from a generalized skeletal decalcification.
