Reduced TNSALP activity in HPP primarily leads to bone mineralization disorders. Given the complex and challenging nature of issues related to vitamin D and HPP, it is essential to evaluate each patient individually and adjust the appropriate dose of vitamin D according to their specific needs in order to maintain calcium phosphate homeostasis and normal vitamin D levels. Maintaining proper vitamin D homeostasis in patients with hypophosphatasia is one of the greatest challenges. Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a retrospective, comprehensive assessment of calcium\u2013phosphate metabolism, with particular emphasis on vitamin D status in patients with genetically confirmed hypophosphatasia (HPP), and to identify potential correlations between 25(OH)D concentrations and other parameters of calcium\u2013phosphate in this group of patients. Methods: A single-center, retrospective pilot study was conducted in a small cohort (n = 36) of patients suffering from an ultra-rare genetic disorder, hypophosphatasia. The small sample size reflects the ultra-rare nature of the disease; so far, HPP has been diagnosed in approximately 50 patients in Poland (prevalence 1:300,000). The analysis included medical records of patients. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was not observed in the majority of patients with hypophosphatasia in the study group. The initiation of long-term enzyme replacement therapy (with asfotase alfa) did not significantly affect the annual change in mean serum vitamin D concentration. As established in the literature, growth disorders are an inherent feature of the clinical picture of hypophosphatasia. This was reflected in our study group, where nearly half of the pediatric patients achieved a height below the 10th percentile. Conclusions: Within this limited sample, these growth issues did not appear to be associated with disturbances in calcium and phosphate metabolism or vitamin D deficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18193119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T15:28:43Z","timestamp":1790090923000},"page":"3119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of Vitamin D Status and Calcium\u2013Phosphate Metabolism in Patients with Hypophosphatasia\u2014A Single-Center Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6878-3388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela","family":"Micha\u0142us","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Outpatient Clinic for Congenital Metabolic Diseases in Children, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Pejska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Outpatient Clinic for Congenital Metabolic Diseases in Children, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"J\u00f3\u017awiak-Markiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Outpatient Clinic for Congenital Metabolic Diseases in Children, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Konopka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Outpatient Clinic for Congenital Metabolic Diseases in Children, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewa","family":"Starostecka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Outpatient Clinic for Congenital Metabolic Diseases in Children, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aneta","family":"Gwozdowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Outpatient Clinic for Congenital Metabolic Diseases in Children, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arkadiusz","family":"Zygmunt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital\u2014Research Institute, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Developmental Age and Adult Endocrinology, Medical University of Lodz, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.1038\/nrendo.2016.14","article-title":"Hypophosphatasia\u2014Aetiology, nosology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment","volume":"12","author":"Whyte","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
