Mutations in WNT1 Cause Different Forms of Bone Fragility

Abstract: We report that hypofunctional alleles of WNT1 cause autosomal-recessive osteogenesis imperfecta, a congenital disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and recurrent fractures. In consanguineous families, we identified five homozygous mutations in WNT1: one frameshift mutation, two missense mutations, one splice-site mutation, and one nonsense mutation. In addition, in a family affected by dominantly inherited early-onset osteoporosis, a heterozygous WNT1 missense mutation was identified in affected individu… Show more

“…The investigation of rare mendelian disorders with decreased BMD as a key diagnostic feature constitutes a strategy for identifying genetic determinants of osteoporosis. [3][4][5][6][7] We identified families with X-linked osteoporosis and fractures among patients with negative tests for the genes encoding collagen type Iα1 and type Iα2 (COL1A1 and COL1A2, respectively) who had been referred to us for diagnosis or ruling out of osteogenesis imperfecta type I. Osteoporosis with fractures as an X-linked trait has been reported by Sillence. 8 We now report data from five families with X-linked osteoporosis and fractures related to pathogenic variants in the gene for plastin 3 (PLS3), provide functional evidence that PLS3 is a bone-regulatory protein, and describe a rare variant or single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associated with decreased BMD and an increased risk of fracture among heterozygous women in the general population.…”
