Genome-wide association study of osteopontin (OPN) levels in 4,897 European chronic kidney disease patients identified 3 genome-wide significant loci (p < 5.0E-08). Two loci replicated in the Young Finns Study: rs10011284 upstream of SPP1 (encoding OPN; beta = -0.10, p = 8.59e-11) and rs4253311 in KLKB1 (encoding prekallikrein; beta = -0.14, p = 5.29e-20). A third locus rs2731673 near F12/GRK6 did not replicate. Rare variant testing identified SPP1 as significant (p = 2.5E-8), implicating OPN genetics in chronic kidney disease pathophysiology.
About SPP1
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the attachment of osteoclasts to the mineralized bone matrix. The encoded protein is secreted and binds hydroxyapatite with high affinity. The osteoclast vitronectin receptor is found in the cell membrane and may be involved in the binding to this protein. This protein is also a cytokine that upregulates expression of interferon-gamma and interleukin-12. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
