Hypophosphatasia: Understanding

Hypophosphatasia: Overview

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder characterized by defective mineralization of bones and teeth due to mutations in the ALPL gene, which encodes the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) enzyme. This enzyme plays a crucial role in bone formation by regulating phosphate and calcium levels. The disease presents with a wide range of clinical severity, from life-threatening forms in infancy to milder forms in adulthood, often involving premature tooth loss, fractures, muscle weakness, and skeletal abnormalities.

The symptoms are highly variable in their clinical expression, which ranges from stillbirth without mineralized bone to early loss of teeth without bone symptoms. Depending on the age at diagnosis, six clinical forms are currently recognized: perinatal (lethal), perinatal benign, infantile, childhood, adult and odontohypophosphatasia. In the lethal perinatal form, the patients show markedly impaired mineralization in utero. In the prenatal benign form these symptoms are spontaneously improved. Clinical symptoms of the infantile form are respiratory complications, premature craniosynostosis, widespread demineralization and rachitic changes in the metaphyses.

The disease is due to mutations in the liver/bone/kidney alkaline phosphatase gene (ALPL; OMIM# 171760) encoding the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP or TNSALP). TNAP is a phosphomonoesterase of 507 residues, anchored at its carboxyl terminus to the plasma membrane by a phosphatidylinositol-glycan moiety. The enzyme is physiologically active in its dimeric form and cleaves extracellular substrates pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), phosphoethanolamine (PEA) and inorganic pyrophosphates (PPi). Its exact function in bone and dental mineralization is still unclear but involves hydrolysis of PPi, and perhaps mammalian-specific activities such as collagen and calcium binding.

Screening for mutations in the TNAP gene is essential to confirm the hypophosphatasia diagnosis when biochemical and clinical data are not clear enough, to offer genetic counseling or to offer molecular prenatal diagnosis to families affected by severe forms of the disease (see below). Clinical and biochemical data may not always distinguish hypophosphatasia from other skeletal diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta. Mutation screening may be performed by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) or denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) followed by sequencing of exons exhibiting variants, by direct sequencing of the cDNA or by direct sequencing of genomic sequences.

Hypophosphatasia Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Hypophosphatasia report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

 

Hypophosphatasia Emerging Drugs

• Efzimfotase alfa: AstraZeneca

Efzimfotase alfa (ALXN-1850) is an advanced recombinant tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) enzyme replacement therapy developed by Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, for the treatment of hypophosphatasia (HPP), a rare inherited disorder characterized by deficient TNSALP activity leading to impaired bone mineralization. The drug is designed to substitute the missing or deficient TNSALP enzyme, thereby reducing the accumulation of its substrates such as inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), which inhibit bone mineralization. By restoring alkaline phosphatase activity, ALXN-1850 enhances bone mineralization and addresses systemic manifestations of HPP. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Hypophosphatasia.
