MEPE loss-of-function variant associates with decreased bone mineral density and increased fracture risk
Abstract
A major challenge in genetic association studies is that most associated variants fall in the non-coding part of the human genome. We searched for variants associated with bone mineral density (BMD) after enriching the discovery cohort for loss-of-function (LoF) mutations by sequencing a subset of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, followed by imputation in the remaining sample ( N = 19,705), and identified ten known BMD loci. However, one...
