Item Burosumab Provides Sustained Improvement in Phosphorus Homeostasis and Heals Rickets in Children Aged 1 to 4 Years With X-Linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH)(Oxford University Press, 2021) Gottesman, Gary; Imel, Erik Allen; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Chen, Angel; Skrinar, Alison; Roberts, Mary Scott; Whyte, Michael P.; Medicine, School of MedicineXLH is the most common heritable rickets. Affected children have high levels of circulating FGF23 that cause hypophosphatemia with consequent rickets and lower limb deformity. Burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds FGF23, is FDA-approved for the treatment of XLH in children ≥6 months old and adults. Herein, we report final, 3-year safety and efficacy data from an open-label, phase 2 study of burosumab in children 1 to <5 years old at baseline (NCT02750618). Eligibility required hypophosphatemia and radiographic evidence of rickets. The primary efficacy endpoint was change from baseline in fasting serum phosphorus (Pi). Secondary endpoints included Rickets Severity Score (RSS) and Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C). Patients received burosumab subcutaneous Q2W starting at 0.8 mg/kg for 160 weeks (64-week treatment + 96-week treatment extension periods). All 13 enrolled patients completed the 64-week treatment period; 1 left the study to transition to commercially available burosumab, and 12 completed all 160 weeks. Baseline mean (SD) age was 2.9 (1.1) years; 69% were boys; all had previously received oral phosphate salts and active vitamin D. Burosumab rapidly corrected fasting serum Pi with mean (SD) levels of 2.5 (0.3) mg/dL at Baseline, 3.7 (0.5) mg/dL at Week 1 (W1), 3.4 (0.5) mg/dL at W64, and 3.4 (0.5) mg/dL at W160 (normal range: 3.2–6.1 mg/dL). Lower RSS indicated improved rickets. Total RSS decreased from 2.9 (1.4) at Baseline to 1.2 (0.5) at W40 and to 0.9 (0.5) at W64 and was maintained through W160 [1.0 (0.6)]. Positive RGI-C scores indicate healing rickets relative to Baseline. Global RGI-C scores indicating substantial healing (≥+2) at W40 [+2.2 (0.3)] and W64 [+2.2 (0.4)] were maintained through W160 [+2.2 (0.4)]. Similarly, lower limb deformity RGI-C scores were +1.2 (0.6) at W40 and +1.5 (0.5) at W64, and sustained healing was evident at W160 [+2.0 (0.3)]. Wrist and knee RSSs and RGI-C scores similarly improved. The upper limit of normal for serum ALP ranged from 297 to 345 U/L depending on the child’s age and sex. Mean ALP was 549 (194) U/L at Baseline, normalized by W40 [335 (88) U/L], and was sustained through W160 [302 (71) U/L]. The burosumab safety profile over 160 weeks resembled previous pediatric studies; no new safety concerns emerged. All patients had ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). All TEAEs were mild (Grade 1) or moderate (Grade 2) except for one patient with a grade 3 TEAE (food allergy) and one with a grade 3 TEAE (increased serum amylase, 92% salivary/8% pancreatic). One patient had a serious TEAE (dental abscess leading to hospitalization). These grade 3 and serious TEAEs were considered unrelated to study drug. Burosumab rapidly restored Pi homeostasis, improved rickets, and normalized serum ALP in children with XLH aged 1 to <5 years with no new safety concerns. Improvements were maintained during the 3 years of treatment.Item Burosumab Therapy in Children with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2018-05) Carpenter, Thomas O.; Whyte, Michael P.; Imel, Erik A.; Boot, Annemieke M.; Högler, Wolfgang; Linglart, Agnès; Padidela, Raja; van't Hoff, William; Mao, Meng; Chen, Chao-Yin; Skrinar, Alison; Kakkis, Emil; San Martin, Javier; Portale, Anthony A.; Medicine, School of MedicineBACKGROUND X-linked hypophosphatemia is characterized by increased secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), which leads to hypophosphatemia and consequently rickets, osteomalacia, and skeletal deformities. We investigated burosumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets FGF-23, in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia. METHODS In an open-label, phase 2 trial, we randomly assigned 52 children with X-linked hypophosphatemia, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive subcutaneous burosumab either every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks; the dose was adjusted to achieve a serum phosphorus level at the low end of the normal range. The primary end point was the change from baseline to weeks 40 and 64 in the Thacher rickets severity total score (ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity). In addition, the Radiographic Global Impression of Change was used to evaluate rachitic changes from baseline to week 40 and to week 64. Additional end points were changes in pharmacodynamic markers, linear growth, physical ability, and patient-reported outcomes and the incidence of adverse events. RESULTS The mean Thacher rickets severity total score decreased from 1.9 at baseline to 0.8 at week 40 with every-2-week dosing and from 1.7 at baseline to 1.1 at week 40 with every-4-week dosing (P<0.001 for both comparisons); these improvements persisted at week 64. The mean serum phosphorus level increased after the first dose in both groups, and more than half the patients in both groups had levels within the normal range (3.2 to 6.1 mg per deciliter [1.0 to 2.0 mmol per liter]) by week 6. Stable serum phosphorus levels were maintained through week 64 with every-2-week dosing. Renal tubular phosphate reabsorption increased from baseline in both groups, with an overall mean increase of 0.98 mg per deciliter (0.32 mmol per liter). The mean dose of burosumab at week 40 was 0.98 mg per kilogram of body weight with every-2-week dosing and 1.50 mg per kilogram with every-4-week dosing. Across both groups, the mean serum alkaline phosphatase level decreased from 459 U per liter at baseline to 369 U per liter at week 64. The mean standing-height z score increased in both groups, with greater improvement seen at all time points with every-2-week dosing (an increase from baseline of 0.19 at week 64) than with every-4-week dosing (an increase from baseline of 0.12 at week 64). Physical ability improved and pain decreased. Nearly all the adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. CONCLUSIONS In children with X-linked hypophosphatemia, treatment with burosumab improved renal tubular phosphate reabsorption, serum phosphorus levels, linear growth, and physical function and reduced pain and the severity of rickets.Item Burosumab versus conventional therapy in children with X-linked hypophosphataemia: a randomised, active-controlled, open-label, phase 3 trial(Elsevier, 2019-06-15) Imel, Erik A.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Whyte, Michael P.; Munns, Craig F.; Ward, Leanne M.; Nilsson, Ola; Simmons, Jill H.; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Sochett, Etienne; Högler, Wolfgang; Muroya, Koji; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Gottesman, Gary S.; Biggin, Andrew; Perwad, Farzana; Mao, Meng; Chen, Chao-Yin; Skrinar, Alison; Martin, Javier San; Portale, Anthony A.; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground X-linked hypophosphatemia in children is characterized by elevated serum FGF23, hypophosphatemia, rickets, lower extremity bowing, and growth impairment. We compared the efficacy and safety of continuing conventional therapy, consisting of oral phosphate and active vitamin D, versus switching to burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, in pediatric X-linked hypophosphatemia. Methods In this randomised, active-controlled, open-label, phase 3 trial at 16 clinical sites, we enrolled children with X-linked hypophosphataemia aged 1–12 years. Key eligibility criteria were a total Thacher rickets severity score of at least 2·0, fasting serum phosphorus lower than 0·97 mmol/L (3·0 mg/dL), confirmed PHEX (phosphate-regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked) mutation or variant of unknown significance in the patient or a family member with appropriate X-linked dominant inheritance, and receipt of conventional therapy for at least 6 consecutive months for children younger than 3 years or at least 12 consecutive months for children older than 3 years. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either subcutaneous burosumab starting at 0·8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (burosumab group) or conventional therapy prescribed by investigators (conventional therapy group). Both interventions lasted 64 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in rickets severity at week 40, assessed by the Radiographic Global Impression of Change global score. All patients who received at least one dose of treatment were included in the primary and safety analyses. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02915705. Findings Recruitment took place between Aug 3, 2016, and May 8, 2017. Of 122 patients assessed, 61 were enrolled. Of these, 32 (18 girls, 14 boys) were randomly assigned to continue receiving conventional therapy and 29 (16 girls, 13 boys) to receive burosumab. For the primary endpoint at week 40, patients in the burosumab group had significantly greater improvement in Radiographic Global Impression of Change global score than did patients in the conventional therapy group (least squares mean +1·9 [SE 0·1] with burosumab vs +0·8 [0·1] with conventional therapy; difference 1·1, 95% CI 0·8–1·5; p<0·0001). Treatment-emergent adverse events considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to treatment by the investigator occurred more frequently with burosumab (17 [59%] of 29 patients in the burosumab group vs seven [22%] of 32 patients in the conventional therapy group). Three serious adverse events occurred in each group, all considered unrelated to treatment and resolved. Interpretation Significantly greater clinical improvements were shown in rickets severity, growth, and biochemistries among children with X-linked hypophosphataemia treated with burosumab compared with those continuing conventional therapy.

In this open-label extension period (weeks 64-88), 21 children continued burosumab Q2W at the previous dose or crossed over from conventional therapy to burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg Q2W with continued clinical radiographic assessments through week 88. Efficacy endpoints and safety observations were summarized descriptively for both groups (burosumab continuation, n = 6; crossover, n = 15). At week 88 compared with baseline, improvements in the following outcomes were observed in the burosumab continuation and crossover groups, respectively: mean (SD) RGI-C rickets total score (primary outcome), +2.11 (0.27) and +1.89 (0.35); mean (SD) RGI-C lower limb deformity score, +1.61 (0.91) and +0.73 (0.82); and mean (SD) height Z-score + 0.41 (0.50) and +0.08 (0.34). Phosphate metabolism normalized rapidly in the crossover group and persisted in the continuation group. Mean (SD) serum alkaline phosphatase decreased from 169% (43%) of the upper limit of normal (ULN) at baseline to 126% (51%) at week 88 in the continuation group and from 157% (33%) of the ULN at baseline to 111% (23%) at week 88 in the crossover group. During the extension period, treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were reported in all 6 children in the burosumab continuation group and 14/15 children in the crossover group. The AE profiles in the randomized and extension periods were similar, with no new safety signals identified. Improvements from baseline in radiographic rickets continued in the extension period among children with XLH who remained on burosumab. Children who crossed over from conventional therapy to burosumab demonstrated a rapid improvement in phosphate metabolism and improved rickets healing over the ensuing 22 weeks.Item Burosumab vs Phosphate/Active Vitamin D in Pediatric X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: A Subgroup Analysis by Dose Level(The Endocrine Society, 2023) Imel, Erik A.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Whyte, Michael P.; Portale, Anthony A.; Munns, Craig F.; Nilsson, Ola; Simmons, Jill H.; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Sochett, Etienne; Högler, Wolfgang; Muroya, Koji; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Gottesman, Gary S.; Biggin, Andrew; Perwad, Farzana; Chen, Angel; Scott Roberts, Mary; Ward, Leanne M.; Medicine, School of MedicineContext: In an open-label, randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial in 61 children aged 1 to 12 years with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), burosumab improved rickets vs continuing conventional therapy with active vitamin D and phosphate. Objective: We conducted an analysis to determine whether skeletal responses differed when switching to burosumab vs continuing higher or lower doses of conventional therapy. Methods: Conventional therapy dose groups were defined as higher-dose phosphate [greater than 40 mg/kg] (HPi), lower-dose phosphate [40 mg/kg or less] (LPi), higher-dose alfacalcidol [greater than 60 ng/kg] or calcitriol [greater than 30 ng/kg] (HD), and lower-dose alfacalcidol [60 ng/kg or less] or calcitriol [30 ng/kg or less] (LD). Results: At week 64, the Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) for rickets was higher (better) in children randomly assigned to burosumab vs conventional therapy for all prebaseline dose groups: HPi (+1.72 vs +0.67), LPi (+2.14 vs +1.08), HD (+1.90 vs +0.94), LD (+2.11 vs +1.06). At week 64, the RGI-C for rickets was also higher in children randomly assigned to burosumab (+2.06) vs conventional therapy for all on-study dose groups: HPi (+1.03), LPi (+1.05), HD (+1.45), LD (+0.72). Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) also decreased in the burosumab-treated patients more than in the conventional therapy group, regardless of on-study phosphate and active vitamin D doses. Conclusion: Prior phosphate or active vitamin D doses did not influence treatment response after switching to burosumab among children with XLH and active radiographic rickets. Switching from conventional therapy to burosumab improved rickets and serum ALP more than continuing either higher or lower doses of phosphate or active vitamin D.Item Effect of Burosumab Compared With Conventional Therapy on Younger vs Older Children With X-linked Hypophosphatemia(Endocrine Society, 2022) Ward, Leanne M.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Whyte, Michael P.; Munns, Craig F.; Portale, Anthony A.; Högler, Wolfgang; Simmons, Jill H.; Gottesman, Gary S.; Padidela, Raja; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Nilsson, Ola; Mao, Meng; Chen, Angel; Skrinar, Alison; Scott Roberts, Mary; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of MedicineContext: Younger age at treatment onset with conventional therapy (phosphate salts and active vitamin D; Pi/D) is associated with improved growth and skeletal outcomes in children with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). The effect of age on burosumab efficacy and safety in XLH is unknown. Objective: This work aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of burosumab vs Pi/D in younger (< 5 years) and older (5-12 years) children with XLH. Methods: This post hoc analysis of a 64-week, open-label, randomized controlled study took place at 16 academic centers. Sixty-one children aged 1 to 12 years with XLH (younger, n = 26; older, n = 35) participated. Children received burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (younger, n = 14; older, n = 15) or continued Pi/D individually titrated per recommended guidelines (younger, n = 12; older, n = 20). The main outcome measure included the least squares means difference (LSMD) in Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) rickets total score from baseline to week 64. Results: The LSMD in outcomes through 64 weeks on burosumab vs conventional therapy by age group were as follows: RGI-C rickets total score (younger, +0.90; older, +1.07), total Rickets Severity Score (younger, -0.86; older, -1.44), RGI-C lower limb deformity score (younger, +1.02; older, +0.91), recumbent length or standing height Z-score (younger, +0.20; older, +0.09), and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (younger, -31.15% of upper normal limit [ULN]; older, -52.11% of ULN). On burosumab, dental abscesses were not reported in younger children but were in 53% of older children. Conclusion: Burosumab appears to improve outcomes both in younger and older children with XLH, including rickets, lower limb deformities, growth, and ALP, compared with Pi/D.Item Juvenile Paget’s Disease From Heterozygous Mutation of SP7 Encoding Osterix (Specificity Protein 7, Transcription Factor Sp7)(Elsevier, 2020-08) Whyte, Michael P.; Campeau, Philippe M.; McAlister, William H.; Roodman, G. David; Kurihara, Nori; Nenninger, Angela; Duan, Shenghui; Gottesman, Gary S.; Bijanki, Vinieth N.; Sedighi, Homer; Veis, Deborah J.; Mumm, Steven; Medicine, School of MedicineJuvenile Paget's disease (JPD) became in 1974 the commonly used name for ultra-rare heritable occurrences of rapid bone remodeling throughout of the skeleton that present in infancy or early childhood as fractures and deformity hallmarked biochemically by marked elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity (hyperphosphatasemia). Untreated, JPD can kill during childhood or young adult life. In 2002, we reported that homozygous deletion of the gene called tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 11B (TNFRSF11B) encoding osteoprotegerin (OPG) explained JPD in Navajos. Soon after, other bi-allelic loss-of-function TNFRSF11B defects were identified in JPD worldwide. OPG inhibits osteoclastogenesis and osteoclast activity by decoying receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B (RANK) ligand (RANKL) away from its receptor RANK. Then, in 2014, we reported JPD in a Bolivian girl caused by a heterozygous activating duplication within TNFRSF11A encoding RANK. Herein, we identify mutation of a third gene underlying JPD. An infant girl began atraumatic fracturing of her lower extremity long-bones. Skull deformity and mild hearing loss followed. Our single investigation of the patient, when she was 15 years-of-age, showed generalized osteosclerosis and hyperostosis. DXA revealed a Z-score of +5.1 at her lumbar spine and T-score of +3.3 at her non-dominant wrist. Biochemical studies were consistent with positive mineral balance and several markers of bone turnover were elevated and included striking hyperphosphatasemia. Iliac crest histopathology was consistent with rapid skeletal remodeling. Measles virus transcripts, common in classic Paget's disease of bone, were not detected in circulating mononuclear cells. Then, reportedly, she responded to several months of alendronate therapy with less skeletal pain and correction of hyperphosphatasemia but had been lost to our follow-up. After we detected no defect in TNFRSF11A or B, trio exome sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous missense mutation (c.926C>G; p.S309W) within SP7 encoding the osteoblast transcription factor osterix (specificity protein 7, transcription factor SP7). Thus, mutation of SP7 represents a third genetic cause of JPD.Item Patient-Reported Outcomes from a Randomized, Active-Controlled, Open-Label, Phase 3 Trial of Burosumab Versus Conventional Therapy in Children with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia(Springer, 2021-05) Padidela, Raja; Whyte, Michael P.; Glorieux, Francis H.; Munns, Craig F.; Ward, Leanne M.; Nilsson, Ola; Portale, Anthony A.; Simmons, Jill H.; Namba, Noriyuki; Cheong, Hae Il; Pitukcheewanont, Pisit; Sochett, Etienne; Högler, Wolfgang; Muroya, Koji; Tanaka, Hiroyuki; Gottesman, Gary S.; Biggin, Andrew; Perwad, Farzana; Williams, Angela; Nixon, Annabel; Sun, Wei; Chen, Angel; Skrinar, Alison; Imel, Erik A.; Medicine, School of MedicineChanging to burosumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting fibroblast growth factor 23, significantly improved phosphorus homeostasis, rickets, lower-extremity deformities, mobility, and growth versus continuing oral phosphate and active vitamin D (conventional therapy) in a randomized, open-label, phase 3 trial involving children aged 1-12 years with X-linked hypophosphatemia. Patients were randomized (1:1) to subcutaneous burosumab or to continue conventional therapy. We present patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from this trial for children aged ≥ 5 years at screening (n = 35), using a Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire and SF-10 Health Survey for Children. PROMIS pain interference, physical function mobility, and fatigue scores improved from baseline with burosumab at weeks 40 and 64, but changed little with continued conventional therapy. Pain interference scores differed significantly between groups at week 40 (- 5.02, 95% CI - 9.29 to - 0.75; p = 0.0212) but not at week 64. Between-group differences were not significant at either week for physical function mobility or fatigue. Reductions in PROMIS pain interference and fatigue scores from baseline were clinically meaningful with burosumab at weeks 40 and 64 but not with conventional therapy. SF-10 physical health scores (PHS-10) improved significantly with burosumab at week 40 (least-squares mean [standard error] + 5.98 [1.79]; p = 0.0008) and week 64 (+ 5.93 [1.88]; p = 0.0016) but not with conventional therapy (between-treatment differences were nonsignificant). In conclusion, changing to burosumab improved PRO measures, with statistically significant differences in PROMIS pain interference at week 40 versus continuing with conventional therapy and in PHS-10 at weeks 40 and 64 versus baseline.Item Sustained Efficacy and Safety of Burosumab, a Monoclonal Antibody to FGF23, in Children With X-Linked Hypophosphatemia(Endocrine Society, 2022) Linglart, Agnès; Imel, Erik A.; Whyte, Michael P.; Portale, Anthony A.; Högler, Wolfgang; Boot, Annemieke M.; Padidela, Raja; van’t Hoff, William; Gottesman, Gary S.; Chen, Angel; Skrinar, Alison; Scott Roberts, Mary; Carpenter, Thomas O.; Medicine, School of MedicinePurpose: In X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), excess fibroblast growth factor-23 causes hypophosphatemia and low calcitriol, leading to musculoskeletal disease with clinical consequences. XLH treatment options include conventional oral phosphate with active vitamin D, or monotherapy with burosumab, a monoclonal antibody approved to treat children and adults with XLH. We have previously reported outcomes up to 64 weeks, and here we report safety and efficacy follow-up results up to 160 weeks from an open-label, multicenter, randomized, dose-finding trial of burosumab for 5- to 12-year-old children with XLH. Methods: After 1 week of conventional therapy washout, patients were randomized 1:1 to burosumab every 2 weeks (Q2W) or every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 64 weeks, with dosing titrated based on fasting serum phosphorus levels between baseline and week 16. From week 66 to week 160, all patients received Q2W burosumab. Results: Twenty-six children were randomized initially into each Q2W and Q4W group and all completed treatment to week 160. In 41 children with open distal femoral and proximal tibial growth plates (from both treatment groups), total Rickets Severity Score significantly decreased by 0.9 ± 0.1 (least squares mean ± SE; P < 0.0001) from baseline to week 160. Fasting serum phosphorus increases were sustained by burosumab therapy throughout the study, with an overall population mean (SD) of 3.35 (0.39) mg/dL, within the pediatric normal range (3.2-6.1 mg/dL) at week 160 (mean change from baseline P < 0.0001). Most adverse events were mild to moderate in severity. Main conclusions: In children with XLH, burosumab administration for 160 weeks improved phosphate homeostasis and rickets and was well-tolerated. Long-term safety was consistent with the reported safety profile of burosumab.Item X-Linked Hypophosphatemia Caused by the Prevailing North American PHEX Variant c.*231A>G; Exon 13-15 Duplication Is Often Misdiagnosed as Ankylosing Spondylitis and Manifests in Both Men and Women(Wiley, 2022-11-02) McCrystal Dahir, Kathryn; Black, Margo; Gottesman, Gary S.; Imel, Erik A.; Mumm, Steven; Nichols, Cindy M.; Whyte, Michael P.; Medicine, School of MedicineInactivating mutations of the gene coding for phosphate‐regulating endopeptidase homolog X‐linked (PHEX) cause X‐linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). A novel PHEX variant, c.*231A>G; exon 13–15 duplication, has emerged as a common cause of XLH in North America, emphasizing the importance of delineating its clinical presentation. Here, a comprehensive description of a five‐generation American kindred of 22 treatment‐naïve individuals harboring the c.*231A>G; exon 13–15 duplication is provided. After XLH was diagnosed in the proposita, pro‐active family members used social media to facilitate a timely assessment of their medical history. Most had normal height and 50% were normophosphatemic. Thirteen had been given a diagnosis other than XLH, most commonly ankylosing spondylitis, and XLH was only established after genetic testing. The prevalent phenotypic characteristics of c.*231A>G; exon 13–15 duplication were disorders of dentition (68.2%), enthesopathies (54.5%), fractures/bone and joint conditions (50%), lower‐limb deformities (40.9%), hearing loss/tinnitus (40.9%), gait abnormalities (22.7%), kidney stones/nephrocalcinosis (18.2%), chest wall disorders (9.1%), and Chiari/skull malformation (4.5%). More affected males than females, respectively, had gait abnormalities (42.9% versus 13.3%), lower‐limb deformities (71.4% versus 26.7%), and enthesopathies (85.7% versus 40%). Single phenotypes, observed exclusively in females, occurred in 22.7% and multiple phenotypes in 77.3% of the cohort. However, as many as six characteristics could develop in either affected males or females. Our findings will improve diagnostic and monitoring protocols for XLH.
