▶Quantitative genetic study of the circulating osteopontin in community-selected familiesAssociationN=925Ermakov S. et al.(2011)· Osteoporosis International
A family-based genetic study of 925 Caucasian individuals examined the contribution of genetic factors to osteopontin (OPN) plasma levels. Variance component analysis showed that 58% of OPN variability is attributable to genetic factors. Three SNPs showed nominally significant associations with OPN levels, with rs2616262 in the IBSP promoter region being the most significant (p=0.003, remaining significant after multiple testing correction), and rs10516799 in the SPP1 3' UTR region also showing significant association (p=0.021).
About IBSP
The protein encoded by this gene is a major structural protein of the bone matrix. It constitutes approximately 12% of the noncollagenous proteins in human bone and is synthesized by skeletal-associated cell types, including hypertrophic chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. The only extraskeletal site of its synthesis is the trophoblast. This protein binds to calcium and hydroxyapatite via its acidic amino acid clusters, and mediates cell attachment through an RGD sequence that recognizes the vitronectin receptor.
