Research that mentions this SNP (1)

Gremlin 1, Frizzled‐related protein, and Dkk‐1 are key regulators of human articular cartilage homeostasis
AssociationLeijten JC et al.(2012)· Arthritis & Rheumatism

Whole-genome expression analysis identified GREM1, FRZB, and DKK1 as natural inhibitors of hypertrophic differentiation in healthy articular cartilage compared to growth-plate cartilage. SNP rs12593365 in GREM1 was associated with a 20% reduced risk of radiographic hip osteoarthritis in population-based cohorts.

About FMN1

This gene belongs to the formin homology family and encodes a protein that has a role in the formation of adherens junction and the polymerization of linear actin cables. The homologous gene in mouse is associated with limb deformity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
