Missense polymorphisms of the WNT16 gene are associated with bone mass, hip geometry and fractures
Abstract
Two missense polymorphisms of WNT16 were associated with hip bone mineral density (BMD), the buckling ratio of the femoral neck, calcaneal ultrasound and hip fractures in individuals under 80 years of age. These results confirm the association of the WNT16 gene with bone mass and osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporosis has a strong genetic component. Wnt ligands stimulate the differentiation of osteoblast precursors and play a major role in...
