Disease burden by <i>ALPL</i> variant number in patients with non-life-threatening hypophosphatasia in the Global HPP Registry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare metabolic disease caused by autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance of ALPL variants resulting in low alkaline phosphatase activity. The objective of this analysis was to compare HPP disease burden between patients with non-life-threatening disease in the Global HPP Registry who have one ALPL variant versus two or more ALPL variants. Methods Patients were included if they had one or more ALPL variants identified through genetic testing and first HPP manifestations after 6 months of age. Assessments included history of HPP manifestations, Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF), Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), 6-Min Walk Test (6MWT), Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and 36-Item Short-Form Survey V.2 (SF-36v2). Results Of 685 included patients, 568 (82.9%) had one ALPL variant, 116 (16.9%) had two variants, and one (0.1%) had three variants. Patients with two or more ALPL variants had higher proportions of skeletal (52.1% vs 32.6%), dental (73.5% vs 56.0%), muscular (36.8% vs 23.6%) and neurological (22.2% vs 8.8%) manifestations at last assessment. BPI-SF, HAQ-DI, PedsQL and SF-36v2 scores were similar between groups. Distances walked on the 6MWT were similar between groups for children. Distance walked was lower among adults with two or more variants (293 m (n=8)) than adults with one variant (466 m (n=103)), although the former group was very small. Conclusion HPP disease burden is high in patients with HPP, regardless of ALPL variant number. While prevalence of HPP-specific manifestations was higher in patients with two or more variants than those with one variant, patient-reported outcomes were similar between groups. Trial registration number NCT02306720 ; EUPAS13514.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
