Identification of Novel Loci Associated With Hip Shape: A Meta-Analysis of Genomewide Association Studies
Meta-analysisN=15,934Baird DA et al.(2019)· Journal of Bone and Mineral Research

A GWAS meta-analysis of 15,934 individuals identified 9 SNPs across 8 loci associated with hip shape phenotypes derived from DXA scans. Five SNPs were associated with hip shape mode 1 (HSM1) at genome-wide significance (p < 5×10⁻⁹), three with HSM2, and one with HSM5. Most loci were close to genes involved in endochondral bone formation (SOX9, PTHLH, FGFR4, NKX3-2, DICER1, RUNX1, HHIP) and also associated with height. Three SNPs showed associations with hip osteoarthritis and one with hip fracture risk.
