AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Increased Metabolic Rate in X-linked Hypophosphatemic Mice [PDF]
Hyp mice are a model for human X-linked hypophosphatemia, the most common form of vitamin D-resistant rickets. It has previously been observed that Hyp mice have a greater food consumption per gram body weight than do normal mice.

Circulating αKlotho influences phosphate handling by controlling FGF23 production [PDF]
The FGF23 coreceptor αKlotho (αKL) is expressed as a membrane-bound protein (mKL) that forms heteromeric complexes with FGF receptors (FGFRs) to initiate intracellular signaling.

Ay et al. investigated the cellular mechanisms behind the role of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in FGF23 production. They revealed that LPA cooperates with 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), that is, the bioactive form of vitamin D known to stimulate FGF23 synthesis. This synergy entails MAPK signaling and the induction of the gene encoding the interleukin‐

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia is an inherited disease caused by the loss of function in PHEX. Elevated plasma FGF23 in patients with XLH leads to hypophosphatemia.

The role of FGF23/Klotho in mineral metabolism and chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health burden of growing incidence and prevalence. As renal function declines disturbances in mineral metabolism, such as hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism, inevitably develop. These metabolic

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.

Lessons learned from the real-world diagnosis and management of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets
Hypophosphatemic rickets, which is often hereditary, is still under- or misdiagnosed in both children and adults, denying these individuals access to optimal management and genetic counseling.

Identification of two novel mutations in the PHEX gene in Chinese patients with hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: X-linked dominant hypophosphatemia (XLH) is the most prevalent form of inherited rickets/osteomalacia in humans. The aim of this study was to identify PHEX gene mutations and describe the clinical features observed in 6 unrelated Chinese ...
