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 ESR1
This gene encodes an estrogen receptor and ligand-activated transcription factor. The canonical protein contains an N-terminal ligand-independent transactivation domain, a central DNA binding domain, a hinge domain, and a C-terminal ligand-dependent transactivation domain. The protein localizes to the nucleus where it may form either a homodimer or a heterodimer with estrogen receptor 2. The protein encoded by this gene regulates the transcription of many estrogen-inducible genes that play a role in growth, metabolism, sexual development, gestation, and other reproductive functions and is expressed in many non-reproductive tissues. The receptor encoded by this gene plays a key role in breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and osteoporosis. This gene is reported to have dozens of transcript variants due to the use of alternate promoters and alternative splicing, however, the full-length nature of many of these variants remain uncertain.
