Cortical and Trabecular Bone Density in X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets

Abstract: Context: X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets is caused by mutations in PHEX. Even though the disease is characterized by disordered skeletal mineralization, detailed bone densitometric studies are lacking.Objective: The aim of the study was to assess volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets using forearm peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Setting:The study was conducted in the metabolic bone clinic of a pediatric orthopedic hospital.Patients: Thirty-four patients (age… Show more

“…This outcome has also been observed in adults during DXA examination of the lumbar spine [107]. Bone mineral content was significantly higher in the XLH cohort in a pQCT study conducted in children, adolescents and adults with XLH [108]. In pQCT, XLH patients appear to have elevated trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at the distal radius while receiving calcitriol and phosphate supplementation but low cortical vBMD at the radial diaphysis.…”

“…In pQCT, XLH patients appear to have elevated trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) at the distal radius while receiving calcitriol and phosphate supplementation but low cortical vBMD at the radial diaphysis. Low cortical vBMD presumably reflects the underlying mineralisation defect that is not entirely corrected by current treatment approaches [108]. However, XLH patients have a muscle function deficit in the lower extremities, even if bone mass and size are increased at the distal tibia [109].…”

“…For example, in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, which is caused by phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX) mutations, the bone matrix surrounding osteocytes is hypomineralized, but overall bone mass is paradoxically increased (14). In osteogenesis imperfecta, which is caused by mutations in collagen type Iencoding genes, osteocyte density is conspicuously increased, and bone mass is typically very low (15).…”

“…Children, however, are more likely to fracture the cortical-rich appendicular skeleton as compared to adults (19). Specific pediatric metabolic bone disorders, such as X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets and chronic kidney disease (CKD), illustrate the importance of cortical bone parameters in pediatric populations (20). Children with CKD have decreased cortical volumetric bone mineral density as measured by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (21).…”
