Japanese nationwide survey of hypophosphatasia reveals prominent differences in genetic and dental findings between odonto and non-odonto types.

ABSTRACT: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare and intractable metabolic bone disease caused by mutations in the ALPL gene. Here, we undertook a nationwide survey of HPP in Japan, specifically regarding the prominent genetic and dental manifestations of odonto (n = 16 cases) and other (termed "non-odonto") (n = 36 cases) types. Mean serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) values in odonto-type patients were significantly greater than those of non-odonto-type patients (P<0.05). Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns were detected, respectively, in 89% of odonto-type and 96% of non-odonto-type patients. The ALPL "c.1559delT" mutation, associated with extremely low ALP activity, was found in approximately 70% of cases. Regarding dental manifestations, all patients classified as odonto-type showed early exfoliation of the primary teeth significantly more frequently than patients classified as non-odonto-type (100% vs. 56%; P<0.05). Tooth hypomineralisation was detected in 42% of non-odonto-type patients, but not in any odonto-type patients (0%; P<0.05). Collectively, these results suggest that genetic and dental manifestations of patients with odonto-type and non-odonto-type HPP are significantly different, and these differences should be considered during clinical treatment of patients with HPP.

Project description:The factors influencing the time interval from the initial surgery for gastric cancer to the detection of metachronous multiple gastric cancer (MMGC) remain to be elucidated. The present study was performed to evaluate the association between the type of initial gastrectomy or reconstruction procedure and the time interval from initial gastrectomy to the detection of MMGC. A questionnaire survey on remnant stomach cancer was performed by the Japanese Society for Gastro-Surgical Pathophysiology in 2018. Participating facilities were requested to indicate the number of patients who underwent surgery for MMGC between 2003 and 2017, in association with the time interval from the initial gastrectomy until treatment for MMGC by type of initial gastrectomy or reconstruction procedure. Analyses were performed using data from 45 facilities. Gastrectomy for MMGC was performed on 1,234 patients during this period. Pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) accounted for only 3.6% (20/557) of the patients who underwent surgery for MMGC ≥10 years from initial gastrectomy, while PPG accounted for 10.1% (40/396) of patients who underwent surgery for MMGC within 5 years after initial gastrectomy. Billroth-II and Roux-en Y reconstruction accounted for 22.3% (103/462) and 1.3% (6/462), respectively, of patients who underwent surgery for MMGC ≥10 years from initial distal gastrectomy (DG), while such patients accounted for 8.0% (23/286) and 21.7% (65/286), respectively, of patients who underwent surgery for MMGC within 5 years after initial DG. Similarly, the proportion of each reconstruction procedure differed according to the time interval from initial proximal gastrectomy to treatment for MMGC. The types of gastrectomy or reconstruction procedure for initial gastrectomy differed significantly according to the time interval between the initial gastrectomy and treatment for MMGC, and the fact that PPG and R-Y reconstruction in DG is a relatively new method were assumed to be a major cause of these differences.

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations in ALPL result in hypophosphatasia (HPP), an inborn error of metabolism that causes defective skeletal and dental mineralization. ALPL encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme expressed in bone, teeth, liver, and kidney that hydrolyzes the mineralization inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate. As Alpl-null mice die before weaning, we aimed to generate mouse models of late-onset HPP with extended life spans by engineering a floxed Alpl allele, allowing for conditional gene ablation (conditional knockout [cKO]) when crossed with Cre recombinase transgenic mice. The authors hypothesized that targeted deletion of Alpl in osteoblasts and selected dental cells ( Col1a1-cKO) or deletion in chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and craniofacial mesenchyme ( Prx1-cKO) would phenocopy skeletal and dental manifestations of late-onset HPP. Col1a1-cKO and Prx1-cKO mice were viable and fertile, and they did not manifest the epileptic seizures characteristic of the Alpl-/- model of severe infantile HPP. Both cKO models featured normal postnatal body weight but significant reduction as compared with wild type mice by 8 to 12 wk. Plasma alkaline phosphatase for both cKO models at 24 wk was reduced by approximately 75% as compared with controls. Radiography revealed profound skeletal defects in cKO mice, including rachitic changes, hypomineralized long bones, deformations, and signs of fractures. Microcomputed tomography confirmed quantitative differences in cortical and trabecular bone, including decreased cortical thickness and mineral density. Col1a1-cKO mice exhibited classic signs of HPP dentoalveolar disease, including short molar roots with thin dentin, lack of acellular cementum, and osteoid accumulation in alveolar bone. Prx1-cKO mice exhibited the same array of periodontal defects but featured less affected molar dentin. Both cKO models exhibited reduced alveolar bone height and 4-fold increased numbers of osteoclast-like cells versus wild type at 24 wk, consistent with HPP-associated periodontal disease. These novel models of late-onset HPP can inform on long-term skeletal and dental manifestations and will provide essential tools to further studies of etiopathologies and therapeutic interventions.

Project description:ObjectiveHypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, commonly unrecognized hereditary mineralization defect with a dramatically poor prognosis in severe cases. This study is the first to examine the detailed clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with HPP and healthy carriers in Turkey.MethodsThe study data were obtained retrospectively from the files of 10 healthy carriers and of 16 cases with HPP (12 children and 4 adults) who were followed in our center from 2012 to 2016.ResultsThe annual incidence of perinatal lethal hypophosphatasia (PLH) was estimated to be approximately 1 case per 435,517 live births,, which is the first report from Turkey. The clinical courses of the cases differed depending on the type of HPP. All of the seven cases (58.3% of all cases) with perinatal lethal form of HPP died. A need for respiratory support (p=0.001), a history of pyridoxine-dependent seizures (p=0.001), a low chest circumference measurement (p=0.017), younger age at diagnosis (p=0.029), a small head circumference at the time of presentation (p=0.042), a low arm span to height ratio (p=0.048), and a low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level (p=0.042) seemed to be predicting factors for mortality. The mean height standard deviation score of the patients and those of the healthy carriers did not differ significantly (p=0.173). Different mutations were detected in nine of 14 cases (64.2%) in whom an ALPL gene mutation analysis could be performed, and five of these cases (35.7%) had novel mutations. The most common mutations were c746G>T (five alleles), c346G>A (three alleles), and c.140C>T (three alleles). In addition, the most frequently observed genotype in Turkish HPP cases was autosomal-dominant c.346G>A (p.A116T) mutations which were detected in three cases in two different families.ConclusionBecause of the respiratory problems, especially the lung hypoplasia, the clinical course is poor in cases with the perinatal lethal form of HPP. Some minor abnormalities such as mild short stature and osteopenia could be observed in asymptomatic heterozygote carriers. Laboratory findings were normal in these cases.
