Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited form of rickets or osteomalacia due to reduced activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) caused by a loss of function mutation in the TNSALP gene marked by a low serum alkaline phosphatase. The ratio of PPi to Pi is crucial in the mineralization process. This process is regulated by the interaction of three phosphatases present in matrix vesicles: the mineralization promotors TNSALP and phosphatase orphan 1 (PHOSPHO1) and the mineralization inhibitor nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 (NPP1). HPP is seen worldwide affecting all races. The broad-ranging clinical severity of HPP is correlated to the pattern of inheritance and degree of TNSALP activity, with lower levels of activity seen in the more severe autosomal recessive forms. HPP is marked by compromise of phase 2 hydroxyapatite crystal formation beyond the matrix vesicle resulting in skeletal hypomineralization, spontaneous fractures, tooth loss, and chondrocalcinosis. The major forms in declining order of severity include the following: perinatal, infantile, childhood, and adult HPP in addition to OdontoHPP and benign prenatal HPP. Biochemistry typically reveals a low serum alkaline phosphatase and elevated alkaline substrates such as pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) and phosphoethanolamine (PEA). Asfotase alfa, a recent novel enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of HPP, has transformed this once lethal disease to one that is less severe.
