What the research says This variant is one of 15 genetic determinants identified in a genome-wide association meta-analysis for fracture risk and also influences bone mineral density [PMID 30158200]. The study found that each standard deviation decrease in genetically determined BMD was linked to a 55% increase in fracture risk via an odds ratio of 1.55, p=1.5×10-68 [PMID 30158200].

Reported associations Fracture risk: this variant is linked to higher fracture risk with an odds ratio of 1.55 (p=1.5×10-68) [PMID 30158200]

Evidence quality The discovery set included 37,857 fracture cases and 227,116 controls; replication in the GENOMOS consortium of 18,779 cases and 32,078 controls was performed. No conflicting findings were reported [PMID 30158200]. No lifestyle considerations on file for this variant.

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Exercise

  • Resistance training Low

    Grip strength has causal protective effect on fracture risk; resistance training increases grip strength and bone mineral density.

    2-3 sessions per week of resistance or weight-bearing exercise

Screening

  • Bone mineral density screening Moderate

    Bone mineral density is the primary genetic determinant of fracture risk; this SNP influences fracture risk through BMD.

    Consider baseline DEXA scan to establish bone density status
