Background: Previous research has clearly implicated the PNPLA3 gene in the etiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as a polymorphism in the gene was found to be robustly associated to the disease. However, data on the involvement of rare PNPLA3

Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by an increased susceptibility to fracture. It is a complex disorder resulting from the interaction of several polymorphisms in different genes and environmental factors. Since we recently reported a rol

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is, after osteoporosis, the second most common metabolic bone disorder in the elderly Caucasian population. Mutations in the sequestosome 1 gene (SQSTM1) are responsible for the etiology of PDB in a subset of patients, b

Humans lacking sclerostin display progressive bone overgrowth due to increased bone formation. Although it is well established that sclerostin is an osteocyte-secreted bone formation inhibitor, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully elucid

The aim of this study was to confirm the previously identified link between BAMBI and human obesity by means of a genetic and functional analysis. We performed both a mutation analysis, using high-resolution melting curve analysis, and a genetic asso

Since the identification of LRP5 as the causative gene for the osteoporosis pseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) as well as the high bone mass (HBM) phenotype, LRP5 and the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling have been extensively studied for their role in the differ

By means of different genetic association studies the SOST gene, encoding sclerostin, has repeatedly been suggested to regulate bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis susceptibility. This study aimed at a further understanding of the importance

Recently, genome-wide association studies have discovered several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in the etiology of complex obesity. A variant downstream from the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R), a gene known to be involved in mo
