▶Gene-gene interaction between RBMS3 and ZNF516 influences bone mineral densityAssociationN=4,606Tie-Lin Yang et al.(2013)· Journal of Bone and Mineral Research
Gene-gene interaction study identifying pairwise SNP interactions influencing bone mineral density (BMD) in Caucasian and African samples. Discovery analysis in Kansas City (2,286) and Omaha (1,000) samples identified RBMS3 rs6549904 and rs7640046 interacting with ZNF516 rs4891159 with highly significant p-values (7.04×10⁻¹¹ and 1.03×10⁻¹⁰), with interaction ORs of 3.19-4.82. Replication in Framingham Heart Study confirmed findings (p=8.07×10⁻³ and p=2.91×10⁻³), though African American sample showed opposite directional effect, suggesting ancestry-dependent genetic architecture of osteoporosis.
About ZNF516
Zinc-finger proteins bind nucleic acids and play important roles in various cellular functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. This gene encodes a zinc-finger protein, and belongs to the krueppel C2H2-type zinc-finger protein family. It may be involved in transcriptional regulation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]
