Muscle Weakness XLH | Other: MRI | Not Applicable |
Single-center, prospective, non-randomized, controlled study with XLH and healthy volunteer children.
This study involves performing muscle MRI in healthy child volunteers to assess and compare the structure and composition of muscles to those of muscles in children with XLH pathology (muscle MRI of XLH patients is performed as part of standard medical care).
During this study we will have two groups: XLH group and a control group with typically developing children. In the XLH group, composed of 10 patients aged between 5 ans 17 years, female or male and ongoing growth (lesser bone age than 15 years old), have XLH and the most severe radiological deformities,clinical complications (pain and muscular weakness), have already done a muscle MRI of the lower limb during their follow-up.
The control group composed of 20 healthy volunteers aged between 5 ans 17 years old, female or male and without any endocrine pathology. A muscle MRI is necessary for healthy volunteers.
Every child will be alone After signing the informed consent by the 2 parents, the patient or the healthy volunteer and his parents, the MRI assessment will be performed on the same day.
Performing the muscle MRI requires the cooperation of the child in order to remain lying down and motionless throughout the duration of the MRI, i.e. approximately 45 minutes.
Performing MRI does not require the injection of contrast products or radiopharmaceuticals.

patients with X-linked hypophosphatemic
Patient group composed of 10 patients aged between 5 to 17 years old, female or male, with X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets, severity of clinical and radiological damage (pain, muscle weakness and severe bone deformities) and ongoing growth (lesser bone age than 15 years old), child under conventional treatment

Other: MRI
Performing the muscle MRI requires the cooperation of the child in order to remain lying down and motionless throughout the duration of the MRI, about 45 minutes. Performing MRI does not require the injection of contrast products or radiopharmaceuticals. |
healthy volunteers
control group composed of 20 helthy volunteers aged between 5 to 17 years old, female or male, without any endocrine pathology, not suffering from XLH, matching by age (+/- 6 months) and sex
|
Other: MRI
Performing the muscle MRI requires the cooperation of the child in order to remain lying down and motionless throughout the duration of the MRI, about 45 minutes. Performing MRI does not require the injection of contrast products or radiopharmaceuticals. |
- Quantify and compare muscle composition in XLH children versus healthy control children to demonstrate a link between muscle function and muscle quality. [ Time Frame: 1 day ]calculation of inter-muscular adipose tissue will be done in cm2
- Measurement of muscle strength on force platforms, during gait analysis. Power test by mechanography of the jump (bipod and monopodal). Grasping test and correlation of fatty infiltration and functional data. [ Time Frame: 1 day ]The Outcome Measure is BMI (Kg/m²)
- Quantitative analysis of the muscles of the lower limbs (volume and length) [ Time Frame: 1 day ]The Outcome Measure is BMI (Kg/m²)
