Polymorphisms of FDPS, LRP5, SOST and VKORC1 genes and their relation with osteoporosis in postmenopausal Romanian women.


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.
