Abstract
CONTEXT Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of bone mineral density (BMD) were mainly conducted in Europeans. OBJECTIVE To explore genetic variants that affect BMD and sex differences in a Chinese population. METHODS A total of 5428 middle-aged and elderly Chinese were included. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure BMD at the lumbar spine, and total and specific sites of the hip. A mixed linear model was used to analyze the associations between BMD and autosomal genetic variants, adjusting for age, age squared, sex, and menopausal women (model 1); model 2 was further adjusted for height and weight. A GWAS of osteoporosis in the Biobank Japan (BBJ) project was used for replication. GWAMA software was used to detect the statistical significance of sex differences of estimated effects. Gene annotation and pathway enrichment analysis were performed. RESULTS Women lost BMD at earlier ages and faster than men. The 2 models identified a total of 12 loci that were associated with BMD at any site. Single nucleotide polymorphisms rs72354346, rs2024219, rs1463093, rs10037512, and rs5880932 were successfully replicated in the BBJ. Variations of rs79262027 G>A (VKORC1L1) and rs4795209 A>G (DDX52) were associated with BMD only in men, and rs1239055408 G>GA (KCNJ2) was associated with BMD only in women. Gene enrichment analysis showed that BMD in a Chinese elderly population was mainly related to ossification, bone resorption, sex hormones, and kidney physiology. CONCLUSION The present GWAS identified 12 loci that were significantly associated with BMD at any site in a Chinese population, and 3 of them showed sex differences in their effects.

Genome-Wide Analysis of circular RNAs and validation of hsa_circ_0006719 as a potential novel diagnostic biomarker in congenital scoliosis patients. J Cell Mol Med 2020; 24:7015-7022. [PMID: 32394619 PMCID: PMC7299707 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 04/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Congenital scoliosis (CS) is a form of spinal curvature resulting from anomalous development of vertebrae. Recent studies demonstrated that circRNAs could serve as potential biomarkers of disease diagnosis. Genome‐wide circRNAs expression in seven CS patients and three healthy controls was initially detected. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to explore the potential pathological pathway of CS. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to validate the selected circRNAs in the replication cohort with 32 CS patients and 30 healthy controls. Logistic regression controlling for gender was conducted to compare the expression difference. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value. Twenty‐two differentially expressed circRNAs were filtered from genome‐wide circRNA sequencing. Seven circRNAs were validated by qPCR. Only hsa_circ_0006719 was confirmed to have a higher expression level in the CS group than the healthy control group (P = 0.036). Receiver operating characteristic curve also suggested that hsa_circ_0006719 had significant diagnostic value for CS (AUC = 0.739, P = 0.001). We described the first study of circRNAs in CS and validated hsa_circ_0006719 as a potential novel diagnostic biomarker of CS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the relationship between bone mineral density and genotypes of four polymorphisms in previously detected osteoporosis-candidate genes (FDPS rs2297480, LRP5 rs3736228, SOST rs1234612, VKORC1 rs9934438) in postmenopausal Romanian women with primary osteoporosis. METHODS An analytical, prospective, transversal, observational, case-control study on 364 postmenopausal Romanian women was carried out between June 2016 and August 2017 in Cluj Napoca, Romania. Clinical data and blood samples were collected from all study participants. Four polymorphisms were genotyped using TaqMan SNP Genotyping assays, run on a QuantStudio 3 real-time PCR machine. RESULTS Women with TT genotype in FDPS rs2297480 had significantly lower bone mineral density values in the lumbar spine and total hip, and the presence of the T allele was significantly associated with the osteoporosis. Women carrying the CC genotype in LRP5 rs3736228 tend to have lower bone mineral density values in the femoral neck and total hip. No significant association was found for the genotypes of SOST rs1234612 or VKORC1 rs9934438. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed a strong association between bone mineral density and polymorphisms in the FDPS gene, and a borderline association with LRP5 and SOST polymorphisms in postmenopausal Romanian women with osteoporosis. No association was found for VKORC1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, the relationship between osteoporotic vertebral fractures and 9041 Guanine/Adenine and 3673 Guanine/Adenine polymorphisms related to the vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit-1 (VKORC1) gene in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis was investigated. METHOD DNA was isolated from blood samples collected from 150 women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Genotyping of the two polymorphic regions (9041 Guanine/Adenine and 3673 Guanine/Adenine) in VKORC1 was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The presence of radiographic fractures among the 150 patients was ascertained by using the Genant method. RESULT At least one fracture was detected in 98 patients, and no fracture was observed in 52 patients on radiological images. We found no association between the 9041 Guanine/Adenine (p=0.283) and 3673 Guanine/Adenine (p=0.232) polymorphisms of the VKORC1 gene and the development of secondary postosteoporotic fractures in our study. CONCLUSION There was no relationship between osteoporotic vertebral fracture and VKORC1 gene polymorphism in a postmenopausal Turkish population.

Abstract
SummaryVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening complication in cancer patients. Identification of risk factors has been in focus in the past years. Functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of coagulation factors known to influence the concentration or function may be considered to influence the risk of VTE in cancer patients. We evaluated the influence of fibrinogen plasma levels, the –455G>A SNP in the fibrinogen beta gene and the Val34Leu (163G>T) SNP in the factor XIII A-subunit (FXIII-A) gene on the risk of VTE. In 1,079 tumour patients recruited for the prospective Vienna Cancer and Thrombosis Study (CATS) fibrinogen levels were determined by the Clauss method. The FXIII-A Val34Leu and the fibrinogen –455G>A SNPs were tested by allele-specific PCR. The median follow-up time was 604 days, 83 thrombotic events occurred. The median fibrinogen level was 381 mg/dl (25th-75th percentile: 312 to 467). In a multivariable Cox model adjusted to chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, age and sex, neither the fibrinogen concentration (hazard ratio [HR] =1.05, confidence interval [CI] 0.839–1.310 p=0.68), nor the –455G>A SNP (HR=0.77, 95%CI 0.491–1.197; p=0.24), nor the Val34Leu SNP (HR=0.99, 95%CI 0.646–1.542 p=0.99) were associated with occurrence of VTE. The fibrinogen concentration was not significantly different among the fibrinogen –455G or A genotype carriers (p = 0.33). Disseminated intravascular coagulation was observed in only five patients, none of these developed VTE. In conclusion, fibrinogen plasma levels, the fibrinogen –455G>A and the FXIII-A Val34Leu polymorphisms were not associated with VTE in our study.

Abstract
Vitamin K is mainly known as an agent involved in blood coagulation, maintaining the activity of coagulation factors in the liver. In addition, epidemiological studies suggested that a lack of vitamin K is associated with several diseases, including osteoporosis and vascular calcification. There are two main kinds of vitamin K: Phylloquinone (or PK) and Menaquinones (MKn), both act as co-enzyme of y-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX) transforming under-carboxylated in carboxylated vitamin K dependent proteins, such as Bone Gla Protein (or Osteocalcin) and Matrix Gla Protein. Recently, Vitamin K was also identified as a ligand of the nuclear steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) (in murine species Pregnane X Receptor: PXR), expressed in osteoblasts. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the protective role of Vitamin K in bone and vascular health.

Association of VKORC1-1639G>A polymorphism with susceptibility to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine: a Korean study. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2013; 155:1937-42.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormalities of bone metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine. Besides its hemostatic effect, vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) plays a pivotal role in bone mineralization. The aim of this study is to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the VKORC1 gene are associated with the occurrence of OPLL in a Korean population. METHOD A total of 98 patients with OPLL and 200 controls were genotyped for the VKORC1-1639G>A SNP (rs9923231) by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. All the patients (n = 98) in this study underwent surgery (60, posterior-only approach; 36, anterior-only approach; 2, combined anterior and posterior approach) during their admission. We analyzed this association separately according to the gender and OPLL subgroup: OPLL continuous group (continuous type plus mixed type) and OPLL segmental group (segmental and localized type). RESULTS We found that the genotype VKORC1-1639G>A frequency was significantly associated with the occurrence of the OPLL in the female group (adjusted odds ratio = 5.22, 95 % confidence interval: 1.675 to 16.269, p = 0.004). However, there was no overall association between the OPLL susceptibility and VKORC1-1639G>A polymorphism. A subgroup analysis did not show any significant correlation between VKORC1-1639G>A polymorphism and subgroup of OPLL either. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the VKORC1-1639G>A SNP may increase susceptibility to OPLL in women. However, there was only a statistical association in the female group despite a number of stratified analyses. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted with caution, and further genetic study is needed to improve our understanding of the role of VKORC1 polymorphisms in determining the risk of OPLL occurrence.
