▶Association Analyses of RANKL/RANK/OPG Gene Polymorphisms with Femoral Neck Compression Strength Index Variation in CaucasiansAssociationN=1,873Shan-Shan Dong et al.(2009)· Calcified Tissue International
This association study of 1,873 subjects from 405 Caucasian nuclear families examined RANKL/RANK/OPG gene polymorphisms in relation to femoral neck compression strength index (fCSI). Three RANKL SNPs (rs12585014, rs7988338, rs2148073) were significantly associated with fCSI (P = 0.0007, 0.0007, and 0.0005, respectively) after Bonferroni correction, with a haplotype showing even stronger association (P = 0.0003). No significant associations were detected with bone mineral density, femoral neck width, or weight.
▶Is a gene important for bone resorption a candidate for obesity? An association and linkage study on the RANK (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB) gene in a large Caucasian sampleAssociationN=4,102Lan-Juan Zhao et al.(2006)· Human Genetics
This linkage and family-based association study of 4,102 Caucasian subjects examined the RANK gene (chromosome 18q21.33) for association with obesity-related phenotypes. Linkage analysis achieved empirical P=0.004 for BMI at the RANK locus. Association testing of 18 SNPs identified 8 variants associated with obesity phenotypes (P<0.05), with strongest associations at rs11664594/SNP7 (P=0.002-0.003 for BMI, fat mass, lean mass, PFM) and rs4436867/SNP10 (P=0.002 for obesity) and rs4941125/SNP16 (P=0.001 for obesity). Multi-marker analysis showed significant association of the RANK gene with percentage fat mass (P=0.006).
About TNFRSF11A
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptors can interact with various TRAF family proteins, through which this receptor induces the activation of NF-kappa B and MAPK8/JNK. This receptor and its ligand are important regulators of the interaction between T cells and dendritic cells. This receptor is also an essential mediator for osteoclast and lymph node development. Mutations at this locus have been associated with familial expansile osteolysis, autosomal recessive osteopetrosis, and Paget disease of bone. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this locus. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
