About

Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 are two endocrine Fibroblast Growth Factors, requiring Klotho as a co-factor to promote their systemic actions. Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 is involved in the regulation of glucid and lipid metabolism. Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 Knock Out mice display obesity and hyperglycemia.

In investigators experience, patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia often present with early-onset over-weight that could be partly explained by decreased physical activity because of bone pains and deformations after puberty; however, patients usually display progressive over-weight earlier in life, when there is no limitation of physical activity yet.

To the knowledge of investigators the association between Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 and Klotho in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia has never been evaluated. Thus, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the glucid and lipid metabolism in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia, the main working hypothesis being that the genetic deregulation in the Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 axis in patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia induces modifications of Klotho levels (namely decreased levels) that in turn will deregulate the Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 axis (resistance to Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 because of decreased Klotho levels).
