- ContextSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the vitamin D binding protein encoding the GC (group component) gene affect 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations, but their influence on vitamin D status and response to vitamin D supplementation in infants is unknown.ObjectiveTo study GC genotype–related differences in 25OHD concentrations and the response to supplementation during a vitamin D intervention study in infants.DesignIn this randomized controlled trial, healthy term infants received vitamin D3 (10 or 30 μg/d) from 2 weeks to 24 months of age. GC SNPs rs2282679, rs4588, rs7041, and rs1155563 were genotyped. rs4588/7041 diplotype and haplotypes of rs2282679, rs4588, and rs7041 (Haplo3SNP) and of all four SNPs (Haplo4SNP) were determined.Main Outcome Measures25OHD measured in cord blood at birth and at 12 and 24 months during intervention.ResultsA total of 913 infants were included. Minor allele homozygosity of all studied GC SNPs, their combined haplotypes, and rs4588/rs7041 diplotype 2/2 were associated with lower 25OHD concentrations at all time points in one or both intervention groups [analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) P < 0.043], with the exception of rs7041, which did not affect 25OHD at birth. In the high-dose supplementation group receiving 30 μg/d vitamin D3, but not in those receiving 10 µg/d, genotype of rs2282679, rs4588, and rs7041; diplotype; and Haplo3SNP significantly affected intervention response (repeated measurement ANCOVA Pinteraction < 0.019). Minor allele homozygotes had lower 25OHD concentrations and smaller increases in 25OHD throughout the intervention.ConclusionsIn infants, vitamin D binding protein genotype affects 25OHD concentration and efficiency of high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation.

- Context: Only a few genetic causes for childhood obesity have been identified to date. Copy number variants (CNVs) are known to contribute to obesity, both syndromic (15q11.2 deletions, Prader-Willi syndrome) and nonsyndromic (16p11.2 deletions) obesity. Objective: To study the contribution of CNVs to early-onset obesity and evaluate the expression of candidate genes in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Design and Setting: A case-control study in a tertiary academic center. Participants: CNV analysis was performed on 90 subjects with early-onset obesity and 67 normalweight controls. Subcutaneous adipose tissue from body mass index-discordant siblings was used for the gene expression analyses. Main Outcome Measures: We used custom high-density array comparative genomic hybridization with exon resolution in 1989 genes, including all known obesity loci. The expression of candidate genes was assessed using microarray analysis of messenger RNA from subcutaneous adipose tissue. Results: We identified rare CNVs in 17 subjects (19%) with obesity and 2 controls (3%). In three cases (3%), the identified variant involved a known syndromic lesion (22q11.21 duplication, 1q21.1 deletion, and 16p11.2 deletion, respectively), although the others were not known. Seven CNVs in 10 families were inherited and segregated with obesity. Expression analysis of 37 candidate genes showed discordant expression for 10 genes (PCM1, EFEMP1, MAMLD1, ACP6, BAZ2B, SORBS1, KLF15, MACROD2, ATR, and MBD5). Conclusions: Rare CNVs contribute possibly pathogenic alleles to a substantial fraction of children with early-onset obesity. The involved genes might provide insights into pathogenic mechanisms and involved cellular pathways. These findings highlight the importance of CNV screening in children with early-onset obesity.

- Context: We previously identified 2 Finnish families with dominantly inherited, low-turnover osteoporosis caused by mutations in WNT1 or PLS3. Objective, Design, and Setting: This prospective, longitudinal, uncontrolled study was undertaken to evaluate whether these patients respond to teriparatide. Patients and Intervention: We recruited 6 adults (median age, 54 years); 3 with a WNT1 missense mutation, c.652T>G, and 3 with a PLS3 splice mutation, c.73-24T>A, to receive teriparatide 20 mg daily for 24 months. Five patients had previously used bisphosphonates. Main Outcome Measures: Outcome measures included lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, distal radius peripheral quantitative computed tomography, spinal radiography, serum bone turnover markers, paired iliac crest biopsies. Results: All patients showed increases in formation markers procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (90% to 398%) and osteocalcin (50% to 280%) and in resorption markers cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (58% to 457%) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (20% to 68%) in first 6 months. Lumbar spine BMD increased 5.2% to 7.9% in 5 patients and femoral neck BMD 2.6% to 7.8% in 4 patients in 24 months. Distal radius cortical volumetric BMD decreased 5.4% to 26.1%. In histomorphometric analyses, osteoid indices increased more consistently in patients with WNT1 vs PLS3 mutation. Eroded surface decreased 44% to 100% in all patients. Adipocyte number increased in 5 patients studied. Conclusions: Patients with WNT1 or PLS3 mutation-related osteoporosis responded to teriparatide treatment. Future studies are needed to evaluate whether observed changes translate to fracture resistance.

- Context: Osteocytes express proteins that regulate bone remodeling and mineralization. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between osteocyte-specific protein expression and bone histology in patients with monogenic osteoporosis due to wingless integration site 1 (WNT1) or plastin 3 (PLS3) mutations. Design and Setting: Cross-sectional cohort study at a university hospital. Participants: Six patients (four males; ages: 14 to 72 years) with a heterozygous WNT1 mutation and five patients (four males; ages: 9 to 70 years) with a heterozygous/hemizygous PLS3 mutation. Methods and Main Outcome Measures: Immunohistochemistry was performed for fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), sclerostin, and phosphorylated (phospho-)beta-catenin in iliac crest samples and compared with bone histomorphometry. Results: FGF23 expression in WNT1 patients was 243% that observed in PLS3 patients (P < 0.01). DMP1, sclerostin, and phospho-beta-catenin expression did not differ between groups. Serum phosphate correlated inversely with FGF23 expression (r = -0.79, P = 0.01) and serum ionized calcium correlated inversely with sclerostin expression (r = -0.60, P = 0.05). Phospho-beta-catenin expression correlated inversely with DMP1 expression (r = -0.88, P < 0.001), osteoid volume/bone volume (r = -0.68, P = 0.02), and bone formation rate (r = -0.78, P < 0.01). FGF23 expression did not correlate with DMP1 expression, sclerostin expression, or bone histomorphometry. Marrow adiposity was higher in WNT1 than in PLS3 patients (P = 0.04). Conclusions: Mutations that disrupt WNT signaling and osteocytic mechanosensing affect osteocyte protein expression. Abnormal osteocyte function may play a role in the pathogenesis of monogenetic forms of osteoporosis.
