X-linked hypophosphataemia is a rare genetic disorder that causes renal phosphate wasting, impaired mineralisation of teeth and bones, skeletal deformities and limited mobility, all of which significantly impact on health and quality of life. This clinical review examines the recommendations for diagnosing, treating and monitoring adults with the condition.

Introduction: Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by an inactivating mutation in the gene, while Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive renal tubular disorder resulting from a pathogenic mutation in the gene. Both genetic disorders are relatively rare. This report presents a patient with both FHH and GS, exhibiting unique clinical and genetic complexities.

Background: X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare inherited disorder often misdiagnosed and lacking sufficient aetiological treatment. Previous studies have shown that XLH is associated with worse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and greater economic burden for children and their families compared with the general population, but evidence from China is scarce. This study aimed to comprehensively explore the burden and HRQoL of XLH children in China.

X linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a systemic, chronic condition that significantly impairs quality of life. In XLH, a phosphate regulating endopeptidase homologue X-linked (PHEX) gene mutation leads to excess fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), causing hypophosphataemia and subsequent rickets, lower limb deformity, pain and other sequelae, however there are likely other non-FGF23 mediated mechanisms contributing to disease. Burosumab is an FGF23 inhibiting monoclonal antibody that has been shown to be significantly more effective in treating X linked hypophosphataemia than previously available treatment ("conventional therapy" with oral phosphate and active vitamin D).

Purpose: Rickets is a rare bone disorder due to altered calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus metabolism, caused by nutritional deficiencies or, in 13% of cases, genetic origin. Few data are available on an Italian cohort of rickets.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with confirmed low serum phosphorus levels and reduced renal tubular phosphate reabsorption were recruited from different tertiary care centres over the last 5 years.
