Doctor Rathbun first described the case of a 3-week-old infant who presented with severe osteopenia, rickets, and multiple radiographic fractures, and died shortly after of epileptic seizure and respiratory distress. The term “hypophosphatasia” was coined as the patients’ alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly low. Since then, our understanding of HPP has evolved, and now we appreciate causative genetic mutation and the broad spectrum of clinical presentation depending on the age of onset, severity, and skeletal involvement: perinatal, infantile, childhood, adult and odontohypophosphatasia. The new development of enzyme replacement with asfostase alfa has saved the lives of severe form of hypophosphatasia. However, it is still unclear and remains challenging how to manage adult HPP that often presents with mild and non-specific symptoms such as muscle pain, joint stiffness, fatigue, anxiety, or low bone mass, which are common in the general population and not necessarily attributed to HPP. In this review, we will present 3 unique cases of adult HPP and discuss the pathophysiology, clinical presentation particularly neuromuscular and neurocognitive symptoms and management of adult HPP.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19701,"journal":{"name":"Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 115-120"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139015335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
