Abstract
OBJECTIVE Understanding the mechanisms of hip disease, such as osteoarthritis (OA), is crucial to advance their treatment. Such hip diseases often involve specific morphological changes. Genetic variations, called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), influence various hip morphological parameters. This study investigated the biological relevance of SNPs correlated to hip morphology in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The SNP-associated genes were compared to genes associated with OA in other joints, aiming to see if the same genes play a role in both hip development and the risk of OA in other lower limb joints. METHODOLOGY A systematic literature review was conducted to identify SNPs correlated with hip morphology, based on the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Study (PICOS) framework. Afterwards, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed, using EnrichR, on the SNP-associated genes and compared with non-hip OA-associated genes, across different databases. RESULTS Reviewing 49 GWAS identified 436 SNPs associated with hip joint morphology, encompassing variance in bone size, structure and shape. Among the SNP-associated genes, SOX9 plays a pivotal role in size, GDF5 impacts bone structure, and BMP7 affects shape. Overall, skeletal system development, regulation of cell differentiation, and chondrocyte differentiation emerged as crucial processes influencing hip morphology. Eighteen percent of GWAS-identified genes related to hip morphology were also associated with non-hip OA. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate the existence of multiple shared genetic mechanisms across hip morphology and OA, highlighting the necessity for more extensive research in this area, as in contrast to the hip, the genetic background on knee or foot morphology remains largely understudied.

Abstract
Bone strength and the incidence and severity of skeletal disorders vary significantly among human populations, due in part to underlying genetic differentiation. While clinical models predict that this variation is largely deleterious, natural population variation unrelated to disease can go unnoticed, altering our perception of how natural selection has shaped bone morphologies over deep and recent time periods. Here, we conduct the first comparative population-based genetic analysis of the main bone structural protein gene, collagen type I α 1 (COL1A1), in clinical and 1000 Genomes Project datasets in humans, and in natural populations of chimpanzees. Contrary to predictions from clinical studies, we reveal abundant COL1A1 amino acid variation, predicted to have little association with disease in the natural population. We also find signatures of positive selection associated with intron haplotype structure, linkage disequilibrium, and population differentiation in regions of known gene expression regulation in humans and chimpanzees. These results recall how recent and deep evolutionary regimes can be linked, in that bone morphology differences that developed among vertebrates over 450 million years of evolution are the result of positive selection on subtle type I collagen functional variation segregating within populations over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS To explore the genetic correlation between schizophrenia (SCZ) and osteoporosis (OP). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, MEASUREMENTS We conducted a trans-ethnic two-stage genetic correlation analysis of OP and SCZ, totally invoking 2286 Caucasia subjects in discovery stage and 4124 Chinese subjects in replication stage. The bone mineral density (BMD) and bone area values of ulna & radius, hip and spine were measured using Hologic 4500W dual energy X-ray absorptiometry machine. SCZ was diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria. For the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of Caucasian OP, Chinese OP and Chinese SCZ, SNP genotyping was performed using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array. For the GWAS of Caucasian SCZ, SNP genotyping was conducted using the Affymetrix 5.0 array, Affymetrix 6.0 array and Illumina 550 K array. Polygenetic risk scoring (PRS) analysis was conducted by PRSice software. Also, Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LD Score regression) analysis was performed to evaluate the genetic correlation between OP and SCZ. Multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) was performed to detect novel candidate genes for osteoporosis and SCZ. RESULTS In the Caucasia discovery samples, significant genetic correlations were observed for ulna & radius BMD vs. SCZ (P value = 0.010), ulna & radius area vs. SCZ (P value = 0.031). In the Chinese replication samples, we observed significant correlation for ulna & radius area vs. SCZ (P value = 0.019). In addition, LD Score regression also identified significant genetic correlations between SCZ and bone phenotypes in Caucasian and Chinese sample respectively. MTAG analysis identified several novel candidate genes, such as CTNNA2 (MTAG P value = 2.24 × 10-6) for SCZ and FADS2 (MTAG P value = 2.66 × 10-7) for osteoporosis. CONCLUSIONS Our study results support the overlapped genetic basis for osteoporosis and SCZ, and provide novel clues for elucidating the biological mechanism of increased osteoporosis risk in SCZ patients.

Abstract
AIM To fully understand the association between collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) +1245G/T polymorphism and osteoporosis risk in post-menopausal women. METHODS We searched the electronic databases including PubMed, Embase and Cochrane library updated to January 2016, as well as printed articles. Studies were screened according to the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the included studies were further assessed by Clark scores system. Furthermore, the association between COL1A1 +1245G/T polymorphism and osteoporosis risk was assessed using odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Additionally, the meta-analysis was carried out using Review Manger 5.1 software (Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK) and Stata 11.0 software (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA). RESULTS A total of five studies, which contained 1557 subjects (including 458 osteoporosis patients, 269 osteopenic patients and 830 normal controls), were included. Further, the included studies achieved Clark scores no less than 5, indicating a moderate or high quality. The pooled effect size indicated that there was a significant association between COL1A1 +1245G/T polymorphism and osteoporosis risk only under a co-dominant model (GG vs. TT, OR = 2.45, 95% CI = 1.11-5.44, P = 0.03). Moreover, there was no significant correlation between COL1A1 +1245G/T polymorphism and osteopenic risk under each model (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION There might be a certain relationship between GG genotype of COL1A1 +1245G/T polymorphism and osteoporosis risk in post-menopausal women.

Abstract
Background Human fetuin A (AHSG) has been associated with the development of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis. Observations on the role of AHSG rs4918 single-nucleotide polymorphism are contradictory. We investigated the association between variants of rs4918 and parameters of obesity, lipid status, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα), adipokines (adiponectin, resistin, leptin), and insulin resistance in healthy persons and in patients with previous myocardial infarction. Material/Methods This was a cross-sectional study comprising cohort 1 (81 healthy individuals) and cohort 2 (157 patients with previous myocardial infarction). We used the allele-specific KASP genotyping assay to detect rs4918 polymorphism. Results In cohort 1, G-nucleotide carriers had significantly lower serum TNFα, adiponectin, and higher leptin concentrations than in non-G carriers. These differences, however, were not observed in cohort 2. In cohort 2, G-carriers had lower BMI and waist circumferences than in non-G carriers. The G allele was more frequent among lean than obese patients (RR=1.067, 95%CI=1.053–2.651, p=0.015). An association between BMI and rs4918 polymorphism was observed among patients without diabetes (CC/CG/GG genotypes: p=0.003, G vs. non-G allele: p=0.008) but not in diabetics. In addition, a strong linearity between BMI and the CC/CG/GG genotypes (association value: 4.416, p=0.036) and the frequency of the G allele (7.420, p=0.006) could be identified. In cohort 2, non-obese, non-diabetic G-carriers still had lower BMI and waist circumferences than in non-G carriers. Conclusions The rs4918 minor variant is associated with lower TNFα and adiponectin, higher leptin levels in healthy persons, and more favorable anthropomorphic parameters of obesity in cohort 2.

Genetic Contribution of Femoral Neck Bone Geometry to the Risk of Developing Osteoporosis: A Family-Based Study. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0154833.

Abstract
Femoral neck geometry parameters are believed to be as good as bone mineral density as independent factors in predicting hip fracture risk. This study was conducted to analyze the roles of genetic and environmental factors in femoral properties measured in a sample of Spanish families with osteoporotic fractures and extended genealogy. The "Genetic Analysis of Osteoporosis (GAO) Project" involved 11 extended families with a total number of 376 individuals. We studied three categorical phenotypes of particular clinical interest and we used a Hip structural analysis based on DXA to analyze 17 strength and geometrical phenotypes of the hip. All the femoral properties had highly significant heritability, ranging from 0.252 to 0.586. The most significant correlations were observed at the genetic level (ρG). Osteoporotic fracture status (Affected 2) and, particularly, low bone mass and osteoporotic condition (Affected 3) had the highest number of significant genetic correlations with diverse femoral properties. In conclusion, our findings suggest that a relatively simple and easy to use method based on DXA studies can provide useful data on properties of the Hip in clinical practice. Furthermore, our results provide a strong motivation for further studies in order to improve the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanism underlying bone architecture and the genetics of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Femoral neck geometric parameters (FNGPs), which include cortical thickness (CT), periosteal diameter (W), buckling ratio (BR), cross-sectional area (CSA), and section modulus (Z), contribute to bone strength and may predict hip fracture risk. Age at menarche (AAM) is an important risk factor for osteoporosis and bone fractures in women. Some FNGPs are genetically correlated with AAM. In this study, we performed a bivariate genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify new candidate genes responsible for both FNGPs and AAM. In the discovery stage, we tested 760,794 SNPs in 1,728 unrelated Caucasian subject, followed by replication analyses in independent samples of US Caucasians (with 501 subjects) and Chinese (with 826 subjects). We found six SNPs that were associated with FNGPs and AAM. These SNPs are located in three genes (i.e. NRCAM, IDS and LOC148145), suggesting these three genes may co-regulate FNGPs and AAM. Our findings may help improve the understanding of genetic architecture and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying both osteoporosis and AAM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease with an increasing incidence worldwide. Due to lack of early diagnosis and poor prognosis, it is rather critical to improve the early diagnosis of PDAC. A comparative proteomic method was used to analyze serum proteins to find a new potential specific marker. METHODS Comparative analysis of the pancreatic peripheral blood protein profiling from 40 pancreatic cancer patients, 10 pancreatic benign tumor patients, 10 chronic pancreatitis patients and 40 cancer-free controls. The samples were carried out by 2D-differential gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Two up-regulated proteins were further validation by real time RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS We identified fourteen differently expressed proteins in PDAC group compared with cancer-free control group, including 9 up-regulation and 5 down-regulation proteins. Increased Complement C3 and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) were further confirmed by real time RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and IHC. The expressions of Complement C3 and AHSG were higher in PDAC than that in other groups. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Complement C3 and AHSG might be the potential tumor markers in PDAC screening and diagnosis. The finding of inflammation mediated factor Complement C3 revealed that inflammation might be closely related with the occurrence and development process of PDAC.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal chronic conditions in developed countries, hip fracture being one of its major healthcare outcomes. There is considerable variation in the implementation of current pharmacological treatment and prevention, despite consistent recommendations and guidelines. Many studies have reported conflicting findings of genetic associations with bone density and turnover that might predict fracture risk. Moreover, it is not clear whether genetic differences exist in relation to the morbidity and efficiency of the pharmacotherapy treatments. Clinical response, including beneficial and adverse events associated with osteoporosis treatments, is highly variable among individuals. In this context, the present article intends to summarize putative candidate genes and genome-wide association studies that have been related with BMD and fracture risk, and to draw the attention to the need for pharmacogenetic methodology that could be applicable in clinical translational research after an adequate validation process. This article mainly compiles analysis of important polymorphisms in osteoporosis documented previously, and it describes the simple molecular biology tools for routine genotype acquisition. Validation of methods for the easy, fast and accessible identification of SNPs is necessary for evolving pharmacogenetic diagnostic tools in order to contribute to the discovery of clinically relevant genetic variation with an impact on osteoporosis and its personalized treatment.

Abstract
Poor femoral neck bone geometry at the femur is an important risk factor for hip fracture. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of femoral neck bone geometry, examining approximately 379,000 eligible single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1000 Caucasians. A common genetic variant, rs7430431 in the receptor transporting protein 3 (RTP3) gene, was identified in strong association with the buckling ratio (BR, P = 1.6 x 10(-7)), an index of bone structural instability, and with femoral cortical thickness (CT, P = 1.9 x 10(-6)). The RTP3 gene is located in 3p21.31, a region that we found to be linked with CT (LOD = 2.19, P = 6.0 x 10(-4)) in 3998 individuals from 434 pedigrees. The replication analyses in 1488 independent Caucasians and 2118 Chinese confirmed the association of rs7430431 to BR and CT (combined P = 7.0 x 10(-3) for BR and P = 1.4 x 10(-2) for CT). In addition, 350 hip fracture patients and 350 healthy control individuals were genotyped to assess the association of the RTP3 gene with the risk of hip fracture. Significant association between a nearby common SNP, rs10514713 of the RTP3 gene, and hip fracture (P = 1.0 x 10(-3)) was found. Our observations suggest that RTP3 may be a novel candidate gene for femoral neck bone geometry.

[PMID: 19523547 PMCID: PMC3014089 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2009.05.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2008] [Revised: 05/08/2009] [Accepted: 05/29/2009] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
A great deal of research into the determinants of bone strength has unequivocally demonstrated that variation in bone strength is highly subject to genetic factors. Increasing attention in skeletal genetic studies is being paid to indicators of bone quality that complement studies of BMD, including studies of the genetic control of bone geometry. The aim of this study is to investigate the degree to which normal population-level variation in femoral midshaft geometry in a population of pedigreed baboons (Papio hamadryas spp.) can be attributed to the additive effect of genes. Using 110 baboons (80 females, 30 males), we 1) characterize normal variation in midshaft geometry of the femur with regard to age and sex, and 2) determine the degree to which the residual variation is attributable to additive genetic effects. Cross-sectional area (CSA), minimum (I(MIN)) and maximum (I(MAX)) principal moments of inertia, and polar moment of inertia (J) were calculated from digitized images of transverse midshaft sections. Maximum likelihood-based variance decomposition methods were used to estimate the mean effects of age, sex, and genes. Together age and sex effects account for approximately 56% of the variance in each property. In each case the effect of female sex is negative and that of age is positive, although of a lower magnitude than the effect of female sex. Increased age is associated with decreased mean cross-sectional geometry measures in the oldest females. Residual h(2) values range from 0.36 to 0.50, reflecting genetic effects accounting for 15% to 23% of the total phenotypic variance in individual properties. This study establishes the potential of the baboon model for the identification of genes that regulate bone geometric properties in primates. This model is particularly valuable because it allows for experimental designs, environmental consistency, availability of tissues, and comprehensive assessments of multiple integrated bone phenotypes that are not possible in human populations. The baboon is of particular importance in genetic studies, because it provides results that are likely highly relevant to the human condition due to the phylogenetic proximity of baboons to humans.

Abstract
This review comprehensively summarizes the most important and representative molecular genetics studies of gene identification for osteoporosis published up to the end of September 2007. It is intended to constitute a sequential update of our previously published reviews covering the available data up to the end of 2004. Evidence from candidate gene-association studies, genome-wide linkage and association studies, as well as functional genomic studies (including gene-expression microarray and proteomics) on osteogenesis and osteoporosis, are reviewed separately. Studies of transgenic and knockout mice models relevant to osteoporosis are summarized. The major results of all studies are tabulated for comparison and ease of reference. Comments are made on the most notable findings and representative studies for their potential influence and implications on our present understanding of genetics of osteoporosis. The format adopted by this review should be ideal for accommodating future new advances and studies.
