Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disease characterized by low alkaline phosphatase activity, leading to the accumulation of metabolites and various clinical manifestations. Enzyme replacement therapy is the main treatment for HPP.
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited disease caused by a low activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, a hydrolase that removes phosphate groups from many molecules. Decreased alkaline phosphatase activity leads to the accumulation of three main metabolites, i.e., pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), and phosphoethanolamine. Impairment in PLP dephosphorylation induces seizures, while PPi accumulation inhibits bone mineralization. Clinically, HPP has a wide spectrum of presentations, ranging from neonatal death to an apparent lack of symptoms. This disease is classified into six subtypes according to the age at onset of first signs or symptoms. The clinical manifestations of the disease include rickets-like bone changes, bone demineralization, fragility fractures, reduced muscular strength, chest deformity, pulmonary hypoplasia, nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and chondrocalcinosis. Treatment of HPP consists of enzyme replacement therapy. Before this therapy was approved, treatment was palliative and associated with high morbidity and mortality. Asfotase alfa has changed the prognosis of the disease by reducing bone deformity and improving bone mineralization, lung function, and muscle weakness, among other benefits. In adults, teriparatide and anti-sclerostin antibody have been used off-label in selected cases, demonstrating benefit in accelerating fracture healing and in concomitant treatment of osteoporosis. This review summarizes the main aspects of HPP and identifies the particularities of the disease in adult patients.
