Abstract
OBJECTIVES Reliable identification of population-specific variants is important for building the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profile. In this study, genomic variation using allele frequency differences of pharmacologically important genes for Gujarati Indians in Houston (GIH) and Indian Telugu in the U.K. (ITU) from the 1000 Genomes Project vis-à-vis global population data was studied to understand its role in drug response. METHODS Joint genotyping approach was used to derive variants of GIH and ITU independently. SNPs of both these populations with significant allele frequency variation (minor allele frequency ≥ 0.05) with super-populations from the 1000 Genomes Project and gnomAD based on Chi-square distribution with p-value of ≤ 0.05 and Bonferroni's multiple adjustment tests were identified. Population stratification and fixation index analysis was carried out to understand genetic differentiation. Functional annotation of variants was carried out using SnpEff, VEP and CADD score. RESULTS Population stratification of VIP genes revealed four clusters viz., single cluster of GIH and ITU, one cluster each of East Asian, European, African populations and Admixed American was found to be admixed. A total of 13 SNPs belonging to ten pharmacogenes were identified to have significant allele frequency variation in both GIH and ITU populations as compared to one or more super-populations. These SNPs belong to VKORC1 (rs17708472, rs2359612, rs8050894) involved in Vitamin K cycle, cytochrome P450 isoforms CYP2C9 (rs1057910), CYP2B6 (rs3211371), CYP2A2 (rs4646425) and CYP2A4 (rs4646440); ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCB1 (rs12720067), DPYD1 (rs12119882, rs56160474) involved in pyrimidine metabolism, methyltransferase COMT (rs9332377) and transcriptional factor NR1I2 (rs6785049). SNPs rs1544410 (VDR), rs2725264 (ABCG2), rs5215 and rs5219 (KCNJ11) share high fixation index (≥ 0.5) with either EAS/AFR populations. Missense variants rs1057910 (CYP2C9), rs1801028 (DRD2) and rs1138272 (GSTP1), rs116855232 (NUDT15); intronic variants rs1131341 (NQO1) and rs115349832 (DPYD) are identified to be 'deleterious'. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of SNPs pertaining to pharmacogenes in GIH and ITU populations using population structure, fixation index and allele frequency variation provides a premise for understanding the role of genetic diversity in drug response in Asian Indians.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To provide an overview of the role of genes and loci that predispose to Paget's disease of bone and related disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Studies over the past ten years have seen major advances in knowledge on the role of genetic factors in Paget's disease of bone (PDB). Genome wide association studies have identified six loci that predispose to the disease whereas family based studies have identified a further eight genes that cause PDB. This brings the total number of genes and loci implicated in PDB to fourteen. Emerging evidence has shown that a number of these genes also predispose to multisystem proteinopathy syndromes where PDB is accompanied by neurodegeneration and myopathy due to the accumulation of abnormal protein aggregates, emphasising the importance of defects in autophagy in the pathogenesis of PDB. Genetic factors play a key role in the pathogenesis of PDB and the studies in this area have identified several genes previously not suspected to play a role in bone metabolism. Genetic testing coupled to targeted therapeutic intervention is being explored as a way of halting disease progression and improving outcome before irreversible skeletal damage has occurred.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are the first-choice treatment of osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone. Among the bisphosphonates, the non-amino-bisphosphonates, such as clodronic acid, are intracellular converted into toxic analogues of ATP and induce cellular apoptosis whereas the amino-bisphosphonates, such as zoledronic acid, inhibit the farnesyl-diphosphate-synthase, an enzyme of the mevalonate pathway. This pathway regulates cholesterol and glucose homeostasis and is a target for statins. In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the effects of an intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid (5 mg) or clodronic acid (1500 mg) on blood lipid (i.e. total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides) and glucose levels in patients with osteoporosis and Paget's disease of bone. All patients were evaluated before, 1 and 6 months after bisphosphonate treatment. Pagetic and osteoporotic patients treated with zoledronic acid showed a significant reduction in glucose and atherogenic lipids during follow-up whereas these phenomena were not observed after clodronic treatment. The effect on circulating lipid levels was similar in naïve and re-treated Pagetic patients. Zoledronic acid treatment was associated with a reduction in blood glucose and atherogenic lipids in patients with metabolic bone disorders. The extent of change was similar to that obtained with the regular assumption of a low-intensity statin. Further studies are warranted to better evaluate the clinical implications of these observations.

Abstract
Paget's disease is an osteoclastic-mediated disorder of bone that results in abnormal bone resorption associated with inadequate remodeling that leads to mechanically weakened bone. Demonstrating variable geographic prevalence, it is becoming less frequent and age of onset is lengthening in areas of once high prevalence prior to the institution of effective medical therapies, suggesting its etiology involves both environmental as well as genetic factors. Insights into its pathophysiology are helping to clarify other inherited osteolytic disorders of bone by providing additional insights into related cellular processes.

Abstract
Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is, after osteoporosis, the second most common metabolic bone disorder in the elderly Caucasian population. Mutations in the sequestosome 1 gene (SQSTM1) are responsible for the etiology of PDB in a subset of patients, but the disease pathogenesis in the remaining PDB patients is still unknown. Therefore association studies investigating the relationship between genetic polymorphisms and sporadic PDB have been performed in order to find the susceptibility polymorphisms. In this paper, we sought to determine whether polymorphisms in 3 functional candidate genes play a role in the development of sporadic PDB: TNFSF11 (receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand, RANKL), VCP (valosin-containing protein) and IL-6 (interleukin 6). Analyzing 9 tag SNPs and 2 multi-marker tests (MMTs) in TNFSF11, 3 tag SNPs and 1 MMT in VCP and 8 tag SNPs in IL-6 in a population of 196 Belgian patients with sporadic PDB and 212 Belgian control individuals revealed that one VCP SNP (rs565070) turned out to be associated with PDB in this Belgian study population (p=5.5×10(-3)). None of the tag SNPs or MMTs selected for TNFSF11 or IL-6 was associated with PDB. Still, replication of our findings in the VCP gene in other populations is important to confirm our results. However, when combining data of VCP with those from other susceptible gene regions from previous association studies (i.e. TNFRSF11A, CSF1, OPTN and TM7SF4), independent effect of each gene region was found and the cumulative population attributable risk is 72.7%.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of our study was to investigate the possible effect of BsmI vitamin D receptor (VDR's) polymorphism on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women receiving different treatments. MATERIAL AND METHODS This pilot study included 42 postmenopausal women with elevated fracture risk, randomized into 1-year treatment with weekly oral alendronate or daily subcutaneous teriparatide. Both groups received daily supplements of 1000 mg calcium and 800 IU vitamin D. Blood samples were obtained for biochemical evaluation and genotyping. BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck were assessed with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Baseline, follow-up BMD and markers of bone turnover were assessed according to the BsmI genotype. RESULTS BMD at the lumbar spine increased in patients carrying at least one b allele, while it decreased in patients with the BB genotype (P = 0.041). Whereas no gene-treatment interaction was observed in teriparatide-receiving patients, women with the BB genotype receiving alendronate resulted in negative BMD (-0.056 ± 0.032 g/m(2) ) and T-score (-0.295 ± 0.190) gradient, compared to carriers of the b allele (BMD: +0.020 ± 0.017 g/m(2) , P = 0.054; T-score: +0.217 ± 0.100, P = 0.030). No effect of genotype was apparent with respect to gradients of biochemical bone markers. CONCLUSIONS These preliminary results indicate that alendronate has a differential effect on BMD, depending on the VDR genotype. Carriers of the b allele may be more responsive to treatment compared to patients with the BB genotype. The interaction of VDR's BsmI polymorphism with the efficacy of the anti-osteoporotic treatment needs further investigation by larger prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental evidence indicate that melatonin regulates some renal tubular functions via specific melatonin receptors (MTNRs) located in the kidney of several avian and mammalian species, including humans. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the melatonin receptor 1A gene (MTNR1A) might influence the risk of calcium nephrolithiasis. METHODS We performed a systematic analysis of the MTNR1A gene in 246 recurrent calcium stone formers (136 men, 110 women; mean age 40.2 ± 12.0 years; body mass index 25.8 ± 4.5 kg/m2) and 269 healthy controls comparable for age and gender without a history of nephrolithiasis. RESULTS Two SNPs in Intron 1 of MTNR1A were significantly associated with calcium nephrolithiasis: rs13140012 (P = 0.0004) and rs6553010 (P = 0.009). The haplotypes resulting from the two SNPs were also differently distributed between stone formers and controls, the haplotype A-T being more represented among stone formers (P = 0.00001) and the haplotype T-C being more common in healthy controls (P = 0.00001). Preliminary functional studies showed that the SNP rs13140012 could modify the binding sites for transcription factors. CONCLUSION The results of this case-control study indicate a strong association between allelic variants of MTNR1A and recurrent calcium nephrolithiasis.

Abstract
RANK (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB), encoded by TNFRSF11A, is a key protein in osteoclastogenesis. TNFRSF11A mutations cause Paget's disease of bone (PDB)-like diseases (ie, familial expansile osteolysis, expansile skeletal hyperphosphatasia, and early-onset PDB) and an osteoclast-poor form of osteopetrosis. However, no TNFRSF11A mutations have been found in classic PDB, neither in familial nor in isolated cases. To investigate the possible relationship between TNFRSF11A polymorphisms and sporadic PDB, we conducted an association study including 32 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 196 Belgian sporadic PDB patients and 212 control individuals. Thirteen SNPs and 3 multimarker tests (MMTs) turned out to have a p value of between .036 and 3.17 × 10(-4) , with the major effect coming from females. Moreover, 6 SNPs and 1 MMT withstood the Bonferroni correction (p < .002). Replication studies were performed for 2 nonsynonymous SNPs (rs35211496 and rs1805034) in a Dutch and a British cohort. Interestingly, both SNPs resulted in p values ranging from .013 to 8.38 × 10(-5) in both populations. Meta-analysis over three populations resulted in p = .002 for rs35211496 and p = 1.27 × 10(-8) for rs1805034, again mainly coming from the female subgroups. In an attempt to identify the underlying causative SNP, we performed functional studies for the coding SNPs as well as resequencing efforts of a 31-kb region harboring a risk haplotype within the Belgian females. However, neither approach resulted in significant evidence for the causality of any of the tested genetic variants. Therefore, further studies are needed to identify the real cause of the increased risk to develop PDB shown to be present within TNFRSF11A.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is unknown in peninsular Southern Italy, although an elevated clinical severity of the disease was reported in patients from Campania. AIM This study was performed to evaluate the epidemiological and genetic characteristics of PDB in a rural area of Calabria, the southernmost region in the Italian peninsula. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We examined 1068 consecutive pelvic radiographs of patients older than 40 yr referred for any reason to the "Spinelli" Hospital, Belvedere Marittimo, from January 1st 2004 to December 31st 2006. In subjects with radiological findings of pelvic PDB, a 99m Technetium methylene diphosphonate bone scan and the sequence analysis of the sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) gene were subsequently performed. RESULTS In the examined geographic area, the crude radiographic prevalence of pelvic PDB was 0.74% (8/1068; male:female 5:3, mean age 71.6 ± 13.1 yr) whereas the estimated overall prevalence of PDB between 0.82% and 1.21%. PDB patients from Calabria showed clinical characteristics similar to those reported in patients from Campania. The disease was also frequently complicated by osteoarthritis and the right side of the body was more affected than the left. The SQSTM1 gene analysis revealed the presence of a novel missense mutation (M401V) in exon 8 in one subject with a familial and aggressive form of PDB. CONCLUSION The study results confirmed that patients with PDB from rural districts of Southern Italy show an earlier onset and an increased clinical severity of the disease that appears mostly independent from the presence of germinal SQSTM1 mutations.
