Adult Height Improved Over Decades in Patients with X-Linked Hypophosphatemia: a cohort study

CONCLUSION: Final height of XLH patients in France increased significantly over the last decades. Even though men's final heights improved more than women's, men with XLH remain shorter reflecting a more severe disease phenotype. While the results are promising, most patients with XLH remain short leaving room for improvement.PMID:37831782 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad144
