X-linked familial hypophosphatemia
Abstract: Osteomalacia is a diffuse bone disorder characterized by increased bone fragility, and it represents in adults the equivalent of rickets seen in children, sharing the same causes. This condition mainly results from Vitamin D deficiency, but in some cases, it may be due to renal phosphate wasting, which can be hereditary, acquired ...

The pathogenic role of PHEX isn't fully determined, and there is no radical cure for X‐linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR). This study makes the first attempt to perform gene therapy using a minicircle DNA (MC‐DNA) vector expressing a fragment of FGF23 (amino acids 180‐251) in Phex‐T1349C mice and suggests MC‐DNA as a promisingly safe and effective ...

Burosumab in Unidentifiable Tumor‐Induced Osteomalacia
ABSTRACT Tumor‐induced osteomalacia (TIO) can be challenging due to underlying tumors being either unresectable or unidentifiable. Burosumab, an anti‐FGF23 monoclonal antibody, has been proven to be effective in treating TIO but is currently not subsidized for this indication in Australia.

Phase II clinical trial of nirogacestat in patients with relapsed ovarian granulosa cell tumours
Evidence suggests NOTCH activation is among the survival and proliferation pathways interacting with FOXL2 c.402C > G (p.Cys134Trp) mutation in granulosa cell tumours (GCT). This Phase II clinical trial of nirogacestat in GCT achieved its enrolment target in < 1 year and primary analysis within 2 years.

Three Malagasy Cases of Severe Bone Complications Revealing Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hypercalcemia with elevated or unsuppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is rare in children but common in adults, particularly in women around the age of 50. In 85% of cases, PHPT is asymptomatic and is diagnosed following hypercalcemia and elevated PTH levels during routine ...

Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]
Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

Background Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is a rare skeletal muscle channelopathy, most often caused by mutations in CACNA1S or SCN4A. Most pathogenic CACNA1S mutations affect arginine residues in S4 voltage‐sensor domains, but other variants remain poorly understood.

High Phosphate Load Induces De Novo Formation of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in the Kidney
Graphical illustration of renal alterations under varying phosphate load: High phosphate load induces fibrosis, tubular injury, impaired renal function, and de novo formation of perivascular tertiary lymphoid structures. Under normal phosphate load, fibrosis, functional decline, and tubular injury are absent, while T‐ and B‐ cell aggregates are present

Analysis of Thisbe and Pyramus functional domains reveals evidence for cleavage of Drosophila FGFs [PDF]
Background: As important regulators of developmental and adult processes in metazoans, Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) proteins are potent signaling molecules whose activities must be tightly regulated.
