TABLE 2.
The pathophysiology of disorders of phosphate homeostasis associated with altered phosphatonin production/circulating concentrations (64).
| Clinical Disorder | Clinical phenotype | Pathophysiology |
|---|---|---|
| Hypophosphatemic Disorders | ||
| Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) | Hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, reduced 1α, 25(OH)2D concentrations or inappropriately normal 1α, 25(OH)2D concentrations for the level of serum phosphate, osteomalacia or mineralization defect | Excess of production of phosphatonins -- FGF-23, sFRP- 4, MEPE, FGF-7. |
| X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) | As in TIO | Mutations in the endopeptidase PHEX that result in increased concentrations of FGF-23, sFRP-4 and MEPE. |
| Autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR) | As in TIO | Mutations in the FGF-23 gene that results in the formation of a mutant form of FGF-23 that is resistant to proteolysis. |
| Autosomal recessive hypophosphatemia (AR HP) | As in TIO | Mutations in the gene for DMP-1; associated with elevated concentrations of FGF-23. |
| Hyperphosphatemic Disorders | ||
| Tumoral calcinosis | Hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphaturia, elevated or normal 1α, 25(OH)2D concentrations, ectopic calcification | Mutations in the genes for GALNT3, FGF-23, and Klotho. Some patients with GALNT3 and FGF-23 mutations have diminished concentrations of intact FGF-23. The one patient with a Klotho mutation had very high FGF-23 concentrations. |
| Renal failure | Hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphaturia, reduced 1α, 25(OH)2D concentrations. | Elevated FGF-23 and FGF-7 concentrations |
