          Abstract

          Presentamos el caso clínico de un varón de 50 años de edad que consulta por presentar una enfermedad renal litiásica recidivante y una nefrocalcinosis. En la exploración clínica destacó una talla baja y un genu varo bilateral importante. Entre los datos bioquímicos se apreciaba una pérdida renal de fosfatos intensa con hipofosfatemia, una 25 OH vitamina D3 normal, una 1,25 OH2 vitamina D3 elevada y una hipercalciuria. La hormona paratiroidea (PTHi) se encontraba disminuida y en la ecografía renal se confirmó la existencia de una nefrocalcinosis bilateral grave, localizada en la médula renal. Además, se constató una insuficiencia renal crónica incipiente y una acidosis tubular renal incompleta, ambas secundarias a la nefrocalcinosis y no directamente relacionadas con la enfermedad basal. En el estudio molecular se encontró un cambio en homocigosis en el intrón 5 del gen SLC34A3 (NM_080877.2:c[448+5G>A]+[448+ 5G>A]). Sus tres hijos eran portadores de esta misma variante en heterocigosis y, aunque clínicamente estaban asintomáticos, dos de ellos tenían una hipercalciuria. Todos estos datos parecían indicar que el paciente presentaba un raquitismo hipofosfatémico hereditario con hipercalciuria (HHRH), secundario a una alteración en el cotransportador sodio-fosfato IIc (NaPi-IIc), localizado en el túbulo proximal. El HHRH se transmite de forma autosómica recesiva y es una forma muy rara de raquitismo hipofosfatémico. El diagnóstico y el tratamiento son fundamentales para evitar las secuelas óseas del raquitismo y la nefrocalcinosis. La distinción correcta con las otras formas de raquitismo hipofosfatémico tiene implicaciones en el tratamiento, ya que normalmente la administración aislada de suplementos de fósforo corrige todas las alteraciones clínicas y bioquímicas, excepto la pérdida de fosfato por la orina. El aporte exógeno de calcitriol, como se aconseja en otros raquitismos hipofosfatémicos, puede favorecer los depósitos renales de calcio y la aparición de nefrocalcinosis, así como empeorar su pronóstico.

          We report a case of a male aged 50 years who consulted for renal disease recurrent lithiasis and nephrocalcinosis. The clinical examination showed external signs of rickets/osteomalacia and biochemical data as well as a severe loss of renal phosphate with hypophosphatemia, normal 25 OH vitamin D, high 1,25 OH vitamin D and hypercalciuria. Parathyroid hormone was low and renal ultrasound confirmed the existence of severe bilateral medullary nephrocalcinosis. They also found incipient chronic renal failure and incomplete renal tubular acidosis, both secondary to nephrocalcinosis and unrelated to the underlying disease. The molecular study found a change in homozygosity in intron 5 of gene SLC34A3 (NM_080877.2:c[ 448 +5G>A] + [ 448 +5G>A] ). His three children were carriers of the same variant in heterozygosis and although they were clinically asymptomatic two of them had hypercalciuria. All these data suggest that the patient had hereditary hypophosphataemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) secondary to an alteration in the sodium dependent phosphate cotransporter located in proximal tubule (NaPi-IIc). The HHRH is transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance and is an extremely rare form of hypophosphatemic rickets. The diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent bone sequelae of rickets and nephrocalcinosis. A correct differential diagnosis with other forms of hypophosphatemic rickets has implications on the treatment, as the management based only on phosphorus supplementation usually corrects all clinical and biochemical abnormalities, except for the loss of phosphorus in the urine. The exogenous supply of calcitriol, as advised in other hypophosphatemic rickets, may induce renal calcium deposits and nephrocalcinosis and worsens the prognosis.

          Autosomal dominant hypophosphataemic rickets is associated with mutations in FGF23.

          (2000)
          Proper serum phosphate concentrations are maintained by a complex and poorly understood process. Identification of genes responsible for inherited disorders involving disturbances in phosphate homeostasis may provide insight into the pathways that regulate phosphate balance. Several hereditary disorders of isolated phosphate wasting have been described, including X-linked hypophosphataemic rickets (XLH), hypophosphataemic bone disease (HBD), hereditary hypophosphataemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) and autosomal dominant hypophosphataemic rickets (ADHR). Inactivating mutations of the gene PHEX, encoding a member of the neutral endopeptidase family of proteins, are responsible for XLH (refs 6,7). ADHR (MIM 193100) is characterized by low serum phosphorus concentrations, rickets, osteomalacia, lower extremity deformities, short stature, bone pain and dental abscesses. Here we describe a positional cloning approach used to identify the ADHR gene which included the annotation of 37 genes within 4 Mb of genomic sequence. We identified missense mutations in a gene encoding a new member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, FGF23. These mutations in patients with ADHR represent the first mutations found in a human FGF gene.

            Genetic and clinical peculiarities in a new family with hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria: a case report

            Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria is a rare autosomal recessive disorder (OMIM #241530), characterized by decreased renal phosphate reabsorption that leads to hypophosphatemia, rickets, and bone pain; hypophosphatemia is believed to stimulate 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D synthesis which, in turn, results in hypercalciuria. Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria is caused by loss-of-function in the type 2c sodium phosphate cotransporter encoded by the SLC34A3 gene. This report shows a family with a non-previously identified mutation in the SLC34A3 gene and exhibiting mild and different manifestations of HHRH. The probandus had hypophosphatemia, elevated serum 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations, high serum alkaline phosphatase levels, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis. The other members of the family presented some of these alterations: the mother, hypercalciuria and high 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations; the son, hypercalciuria, high 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D values and elevated alkaline phosphatases; the father, high alkaline phosphatases. The genetic analysis revealed the existence of a single mutation (G78R) in heterozygosis in the SLC34A3 gene in the probandus, her mother and her brother, but not in the father. These findings suggest that he mutation in heterozygosis likely gave rise to a mild phenotype with different penetrance in the three relatives and also indicates that the elevation of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D does not result from hypophosphatemia. Thus, this family raises some issues on the transmission and pathophysiology of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria.

              Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria.

              We studied a new hereditary syndrome of hypophosphatemic rickets and hypercalciuria in six affected members of one kindred. In all patients, the manifestations of disease began in early childhood. The characteristic features are rickets, short stature, increased renal phosphate clearance (the ratio between the maximal tubular reabsorption rate for phosphorus and the glomerular filtration rate [TmP/GFR] is 2 to 4 S.D. below the age-related mean), hypercalciuria (8.6 mg of urinary calcium per kilogram of body weight per 24 hours vs. the upper normal value of 4.0), normal serum calcium levels, increased gastrointestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, an elevated serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (390 +/- 99 pg per milliliter vs. the upper normal value of 110), and suppressed parathyroid function (an immunoreactive parathyroid hormone level of 0.33 +/- 0.1 ng per milliliter and a cyclic AMP level of 1.39 +/- 0.12 nmol per deciliter of glomerular filtrate vs. the lower normal values of 0.3 and 1.5, respectively). Long-term phosphate supplementation as the sole therapy resulted in reversal of all clinical and biochemical abnormalities except the decreased TmP/GFR. We propose that the pivotal defect in this syndrome is a renal phosphate leak resulting in hypophosphatemia with an appropriate elevation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels, which causes increased calcium absorption, parathyroid suppression, and hypercalciuria. This syndrome may represent one end of a spectrum of hereditary absorptive hypercalciuria. Our observations support the importance of phosphate as a mediator in controlling 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D production in human beings.
