▶Gene-gene interaction between RBMS3 and ZNF516 influences bone mineral densityAssociationN=4,606Tie-Lin Yang et al.(2013)· Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
Gene-gene interaction study identifying pairwise SNP interactions influencing bone mineral density (BMD) in Caucasian and African samples. Discovery analysis in Kansas City (2,286) and Omaha (1,000) samples identified RBMS3 rs6549904 and rs7640046 interacting with ZNF516 rs4891159 with highly significant p-values (7.04×10⁻¹¹ and 1.03×10⁻¹⁰), with interaction ORs of 3.19-4.82. Replication in Framingham Heart Study confirmed findings (p=8.07×10⁻³ and p=2.91×10⁻³), though African American sample showed opposite directional effect, suggesting ancestry-dependent genetic architecture of osteoporosis.
▶Comprehensive evaluation of the estrogen receptor α gene reveals further evidence for association with type 2 diabetes enriched for nephropathy in an African American populationAssociationN=1,173Keith L. Keene et al.(2008)· Human Genetics
A comprehensive candidate gene study evaluating 150 SNPs across 476 kb of the ESR1 gene (estrogen receptor alpha) in 577 African American cases with type 2 diabetes and end-stage renal disease (T2DM-ESRD) versus 596 controls. After multiple testing correction, three SNPs remained significant: rs11964281 (promoter, adjusted P=0.0289), rs1569788 (intron 4, adjusted P=0.0278), and rs9340969 (intron 4, adjusted P=0.0467). A novel region in intron 4-intron 6 showed clustering of 23 associated SNPs, suggesting this region may contain functionally relevant polymorphisms for T2DM/diabetic nephropathy susceptibility.
About ESR1
This gene encodes an estrogen receptor and ligand-activated transcription factor. The canonical protein contains an N-terminal ligand-independent transactivation domain, a central DNA binding domain, a hinge domain, and a C-terminal ligand-dependent transactivation domain. The protein localizes to the nucleus where it may form either a homodimer or a heterodimer with estrogen receptor 2. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the transcription of many estrogen-inducible genes that play a role in growth, metabolism, sexual development, gestation, and other reproductive functions and is expressed in many non-reproductive tissues. The receptor encoded by this gene plays a key role in breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and osteoporosis. This gene is reported to have dozens of transcript variants due to the use of alternate promoters and alternative splicing, however, the full-length nature of many of these variants remain uncertain.
