| Abstract | WNT signaling is an important determinant of bone formation. The WNT co-receptor, Frizzled homolog 1 (FZD1), initiates WNT signal transduction. To study the influence of FZD1 genetic variation on measures of bone health, we first sequenced a 6.8-kb region surrounding FZD1 in 48 samples of African ancestry. We genotyped all common polymorphisms and performed association analysis with bone phenotypes in a larger sample. Only 3 of 35 SNPs identified were present in ≥5% of the sample and assayed further in 1084 men of African ancestry. Two of these SNPs were in the FZD1 promoter (rs2232157, rs2232158) and were associated with femoral neck areal BMD (p = 0.041 and 0.009, respectively). The minor alleles of these two SNPs were also associated with larger bone size at the radius (p < 0.05 for both), and rs2232158 was associated with greater strength-strain index, an indicator of bone's ability to withstand torsion. Functional experiments were completed to assess the influence of the rs2232158 promoter polymorphism on transcriptional regulation of FZD1. The minor C allele in rs2232158 creates a binding site for the transcription factor Egr1, has higher Egr1 binding affinity, and has greater FZD1 promoter activity in MG63 and SaOS-2 cells, providing a plausible molecular mechanism for the population associations. This study indicates that a cis-regulatory polymorphism in the FZD1 promoter region may have a functional role in determining bone structural geometry. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
