A replication study of 139 SNPs from three prior genome-wide association studies of bone mineral density in an independent sample of 1,000 unrelated US whites confirmed 38 SNPs (27% replication rate). Two SNPs achieved the most significant replication: rs3762397 in NR5A2 and rs3736228 in LRP5. Ten SNPs achieved combined p-values less than 3.6×10⁻⁴ across datasets, including rs3736228 (LRP5) with combined p=5.3×10⁻¹² for spinal BMD.
About SPTBN1
Spectrin is an actin crosslinking and molecular scaffold protein that links the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton, and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. It is composed of two antiparallel dimers of alpha- and beta- subunits. This gene is one member of a family of beta-spectrin genes. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal actin-binding domain, and 17 spectrin repeats which are involved in dimer formation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
