Vitamin-D-dependent rickets type II. Resistance of target organs to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.

Studies were done to determine the cause for hypocalcemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia and osteitis fibrosa cystica in a 22-year-old black woman. The patient had normal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (14 ng per milliliter) and markedly elevated serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (137 pg per milliliter). Vitamin D3, 4000 units per day for four weeks, increased the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D to as high as 29 and 297 pg per milliliter, respectively, and corrected the hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. The results suggest that the disorder results from impaired end-organ response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. We propose that the entity be called vitamin-D-dependent rickets Type II.

Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels in normal subjects and in patients with hereditary rickets or bone disease.

The serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxylvitamin D (1,25-[OH]2D) in normal children and in children with inherited diseases of bone was compared by use of a competitive binding assay. Observed values were: in 12 normal children and adolescents, 37.1 +/- 1.9 pg per milliliter (mean +/- S.D.); in 14 patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets treated with vitamin D2 and phosphate supplements, 15.6 +/- 7.8 (P less than 0.01 versus control); in six patients with autosomal recessive vitamin D dependency treated with vitamin D2, 9.5 +/- 2.9 (P less than 0.01 versus control); and in four untreated patients with autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic (non-rachitic) bone disease, 30.2 +/- 6.3 (not significantly different from the controls). The difference in bone disease between X-linked hypophosphatemia (severe) and hypophosphatemic bone disease (mild) at comparable low serum levels of phosphate implies that 1,25-(OH)2D and phosphate may have independent roles in the pathogenesis of defective bone mineralization.

Bone response to phosphate salts, ergocalciferol, and calcitriol in hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets.

We treated 11 children with vitamin D-resistant rickets with a phosphate mixture either alone (1.2 to 3.6 g per day) or combined with ergocalciferol (vitamin D2, to 50 x 103 IU per day) or with calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 0.25 to 1 microgram per day). Serum calcitriol concentrations were normal in all patients. Calcitriol therapy circulating levels of the hormone to values above normal and increased intestinal phosphate absorption. In some patients this regimen decreased the need for phosphate supplements. None of the treatment regimens corrected the renal phosphate leak. Radiologic studies and bone histomorphometric analyses showed that phosphate (alone or with ergocalciferol) induced the mineralization of the growth plate but not of the endosteal bone surface. Combined calcitriol and phosphate therapy for a total of 2850 patient-days greatly improved the mineralization of trabecular bone. Short-term episodes of hypercalcemia were easily controlled by changes in calcitriol dosage. The data indicate that the combined calcitriol and phosphate regimen is useful in the treatment of vitamin D-resistent rickets.

Calcification of entheses associated with X-linked hypophosphatemic osteomalacia.

We undertook a retrospective analysis of 26 patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (or rickets), whose ages ranged from 1 to 62 years and who were from 11 different kindreds, to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of a unique disorder of the entheses (tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules). We found a generalized involvement of the entheses, with exuberant calcification of tendon and ligament insertions and of joint capsules, in 69 per cent of the subjects. The prevalence and extent of disease increased with age but were not correlated with sex. Commonly affected sites included the hand and sacroiliac joints. Histologic evaluation in a selected patient revealed intratendinous lamellar bone but no inflammatory cells. Our observations indicate that this disorder is an integral part of X-linked hypophosphatemic osteomalacia and exhibits clinical, radiographic, and histologic characteristics that differentiate it from degenerative disorders of these tissues and seronegative spondyloarthropathies.

"Idiopathic" hypercalciuria and hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets. Two phenotypical expressions of a common genetic defect.

Among 59 closely related members of one Bedouin tribe, we identified 9 who had the characteristic features of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH). We found "idiopathic" hypercalciuria in 21 of the 50 asymptomatic members. The biochemical abnormalities observed in these 21 subjects were qualitatively similar to those in the 9 with HHRH, but were quantitatively milder. The urinary calcium concentration was 0.43 +/- 0.14 mg per milligram of creatinine (mean +/- SD) in the patients with HHRH, 0.34 +/- 0.07 in the subjects with idiopathic hypercalciuria, and 0.14 +/- 0.05 in normal subjects from the same tribe. Tubular reabsorption of phosphorus and serum phosphorus concentrations were 3.0 and 4.3 SD units below the age-related mean, respectively, in HHRH, and 1.1 SD units below the normal mean for both variables in idiopathic hypercalciuria. Mean serum levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D) were 303 pg per milliliter in HHRH and 145 pg per milliliter in idiopathic hypercalciuria (upper normal limit, 110). We conclude that the subjects with hypercalciuria and the patients with HHRH shared a hereditary renal phosphate leak that led to hypophosphatemia, elevated serum concentrations of 1,25-(OH)2D, increased intestinal calcium absorption, and hypercalciuria. The magnitude of the hypophosphatemia, which regulates 1,25-(OH)2D levels, appears to determine which subjects will have hypercalciuria alone and which will also have bone disease.

Effects of therapy in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets.

BACKGROUND: Patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, which is clinically manifested by growth failure and bowing of the legs, are usually treated with phosphate and a vitamin D preparation. However, the efficacy of this treatment has been disputed, and nephrocalcinosis is a recognized complication of therapy. METHODS: We studied 24 patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (9 boys and 15 girls) ranging in age from 1 to 16 years (median, 5.3). The duration of combination therapy ranged from 0.3 to 11.8 years (median, 3.0). We measured height as a standard-deviation (SD) score (the number of SDs from the mean height for chronologic age). Measurements made before the age of two years or after the onset of puberty were excluded. We compared the results with those reported in 1971 for 16 untreated prepubertal Australian patients. We also determined the severity of nephrocalcinosis (on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 indicating no abnormalities and 4 stone formation) with renal ultrasonography and whether it could be related to the dosage of phosphate or vitamin D or to other factors. RESULTS: Patients treated for at least two years before the onset of puberty (n = 19) had a mean height SD score of -1.08, as compared with -2.05 in the untreated historical controls. The 13 patients who had been treated with calcitriol and phosphate for at least two years had an increase in the mean height SD score of 0.33, from -1.58 to -1.25 (95 percent confidence interval, 0 to 0.67; P = 0.05). Nineteen of the 24 patients (79 percent) had nephrocalcinosis detected on renal ultrasonography. The grade of nephrocalcinosis was significantly correlated with the mean phosphate dose (r = 0.60, P = 0.002), but not with the dose of vitamin D or the duration of therapy. All patients had normal serum creatinine concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Therapy with calcitriol and phosphate may increase the growth of children with X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. Nephrocalcinosis in these children represents a complication of therapy and is associated with the dose of phosphate received.
