AbstractOsteoporosis is an important health problem in the world. Alpha2-HS glycoprotein (AHSG) is involved in bone formation and metabolism and has been considered as an important candidate gene for osteoporosis. In this study, we simultaneously tested linkage and/or association of the AHSG gene with the variation of bone mineral density (BMD), an important risk factor for osteoporosis. A sample of 1,260 subjects from 401 Chinese nuclear families (including both parents and their daughters) were studied. The daughters' ages ranged from 20 to 45 years. All the subjects were genotyped by PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism) at polymorphic Sac I site inside the exon 7 of the AHSG gene. This polymorphism involves a nucleotide substitution of C to G at the middle nucleotide of the codon at amino acid position 238, resulting in the replacement of threonine (ACC) with serine (AGC). BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and hip region by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Using the QTDT (quantitative trait transmission disequilibrium test), we found no significant results for association or linkage between the AHSG gene and BMD variation at the spine or hip. Our data provided no evidence to support the AHSG gene as a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for the BMD variation in a Chinese population.
