Asfotase Alfa Treatment Improves Survival for Perinatal and Infantile Hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn error of metabolism that, in its most severe perinatal and infantile forms, results in 50-100% mortality, typically from respiratory complications.Our objective was to better understand the effect of treatment with asfotase alfa, a first-in-class enzyme replacement therapy, on mortality in neonates and infants with ...

Treatment with asfotase alfa has transformed the prognosis of hypophosphatasia in children and improves the bone and muscle signs in adults. The doses used in adults are the same as in children, whereas bone remodeling is different between them.

Asfotase alfa improved skeletal mineralization and fracture healing in a child with MCAHS. [PDF]
Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) is an enzyme that is tethered to the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) and converts inorganic pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate. Inorganic phosphate combines with calcium to form hydroxyapatite, the main mineral in the skeleton.

A Rare Case of Perinatal Hypophosphatasia Treated With Asfotase Alfa [PDF]
Abstract Background: Perinatal Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare and lethal disorder associated with a 50–100% mortality rate, usually due to respiratory complications. HPP occurs due to a loss-of-function mutation in the ALPL gene, responsible for the function of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP).

Odontohypophosphatasia treated with asfotase alfa enzyme replacement therapy in a toddler: a case report. [PDF]
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare skeletal disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in Alkaline Phosphatase, Biomineralization associated (ALPL) gene that encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. Odontohypophosphatasia (odonto-HPP), a mild form of HPP, is characterized only by oral manifestations including premature exfoliation of deciduous

HYPOPHOSPHATASIA IN ADULTS: CLINICAL CASES AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Hypophosphatasia is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the gene encoding tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase. Inexpressive clinical picture of the disease in adults is often difficult to diagnose.
