Identifying rare variants in genes related to bone phenotypes in a cohort of postmenopausal women

Rare genetic variants in genes previously described to be involved in bone monogenic disorders were identified in postmenopausal women split into two groups according to extreme bone mineral density (BMD) values and lumbar spine Z-scores. A pathogenic variant in COL1A2 gene found in a woman with low...

description Rare genetic variants in genes previously described to be involved in bone monogenic disorders were identified in postmenopausal women split into two groups according to extreme bone mineral density (BMD) values and lumbar spine Z-scores. A pathogenic variant in COL1A2 gene found in a woman with low BMD highlights the overlap between osteogenesis imperfecta and osteoporosis, which may share their genetic etiology. Other variants were not clearly associated with the extreme BMD, suggesting that there is little contribution of rare variants to postmenopausal osteoporosis. Purpose: We aimed to evaluate whether extreme values of bone mineral density (BMD) in a population-based cohort of postmenopausal women (BARCOS) could be determined by rare genetic variants in genes related to monogenic bone disorders. Methods: A panel of 127 genes related to different skeletal phenotypes was designed. Massive sequencing by targeted capture of these genes was performed in 104 DNA samples from those women of the BARCOS cohort that exhibited the highest (HZ group) and lowest (LZ group) LS Z-scores, ranging from + 0.70 to + 3.80 and from - 2.35 to - 4.26, respectively. 5'UTR, 3'UTR, splice region, missense, nonsense, and short indel variants with MAF < 0.01 were annotated with CADD version 1.6 and considered in the analysis. Results: After filtering those variants with CADD > 25 and present only in one of the groups (either LZ or HZ), six variants were detected, most of which (5/6) were in the LZ group in TCIRG1, COL1A2, SEC24D, LRP4, and ANO5 genes, while only one, in the LMNA gene, was in the HZ group. According to the ClinVar database, the COL1A2 variant, causative of a recessive form of osteogenesis imperfecta, is described as pathogenic, while the other variants are considered of uncertain significance (VUS). Conclusion: The variant identified in COL1A2 in a woman from the LZ group highlights the genetic overlap between monogenic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta and complex diseases like osteoporosis. However, the other variants were not clearly associated with the extreme BMD, suggesting that there is little contribution of rare variants to postmenopausal osteoporosis.
