Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 56 bone mineral density loci and reveals 14 loci associated with risk of fracture

Karol Estrada, +190 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: Light is shed on the genetic architecture and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying BMD variation and fracture susceptibility and within the RANK-RANKL-OPG, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, endochondral ossification and Wnt signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome sequencing identifies EN1 as a determinant of bone density and fracture.

Hou-Feng Zheng, +174 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that low‐frequency non‐coding variants have large effects on BMD and fracture, thereby providing rationale for whole‐genome sequencing and improved imputation reference panels to study the genetic architecture of complex traits and disease in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Polymorphic Autoregulatory Hormone Response Element in the Human Estrogen-related Receptor α (ERRα) Promoter Dictates Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ Coactivator-1α Control of ERRα Expression

TL;DR: In this paper, a 23-bp sequence (ESRRA23) containing two nuclear receptor recognition half-site motifs was identified within the promoter of the human ESRRA gene encoding ERRα.
