Independent genomewide quantitative-trait locus studies have suggested a locus for bone-mineral density and stature at chromosome 11q12-13, a region harboring the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) gene. Mutations in the LRP5 gene were recently implicated in osteoporosis-pseudoglioma and "high-bone-mass" syndromes. To test whether polymorphisms in the LRP5 gene contribute to bone-mass determination in the general population, we studied a cross-sectional cohort of 889 healthy whites of both sexes. Significant associations were found for a missense substitution in exon 9 (c.2047G-->A) with lumbar spine (LS)-bone-mineral content (BMC) (P=.0032), with bone area (P=.0014), and with stature (P=.0062). The associations were observed mainly in adult men, in whom LRP5 polymorphisms accounted for Adolescent Adult Amino Acid Substitution Bone Density/ genetics Bone and Bones/ cytology Child Chromosomes, Human, Pair 11/genetics Cohort Studies Cross-Sectional Studies European Continental Ancestry Group/ genetics Female Gene Frequency Genetic Variation Humans LDL-Receptor Related Proteins Male Middle Aged Mutation, Missense/ genetics Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide/ genetics Receptors, LDL/ genetics Dewey 616 56 Département de médecine 221 false American journal of human genetics 74 5 da423bea-c073-4be5-927f-591b26f1b382 Article Restricted file1.pdf 266630 application/pdf restrictedAccess Faculté de médecine / Section de médecine clinique / Département de médecine
