Family-based study of association between ENPP1 genetic variants and craniofacial morphology

Abstract: The findings obtained in this study suggest that the upstream, promoter and 3' untranslated regions in the ENPP1 locus harbor genetic variants affecting different aspects of craniofacial morphology. Further research is required to validate the relevancy of the potentially functional ENPP1 regions to normal and pathologic craniofacial growth.

“…47 The SNP has also been associated to changes in bigonial width dimension in Western Eurasians. 48 This corroborates our finding that rs6560759 is significantly different in group 1, which has asymmetry in mandibular body breadth, but not in ramus height. Rs858339 is an intronic SNP previously associated with variation in bone mineral density.…”

“…A second possibility is that SNPs in Enpp1 play an additional role, since Enpp1 polymorphisms are associated with differences in height, hip geometric indices and facial morphology. 28-30 …”

“…ENPP1 expression correlates with osteoblast differentiation, and osteoblast cultures overexpressing ENPP1 contain elevated amounts of PPi and show reduced mineral formation [14]. Ermakov et al [11] investigated the association of polymorphisms in the ENPP1 locus with normal variability of craniofacial phenotypes in 1,042 Western Eurasian individuals, and found that ENPP1 gene polymorphisms were associated with upper facial height. Additionally, associations were detected between head breadth and lower face height, and markers residing in or close to the promoter and 3′UTR of the ENPP1 gene.…”

“…ENPP1 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1) encodes an enzyme that negatively regulates bone mineralization. When mutated at 5′UTR and 3′UTR, it leads to a change in the height of the upper face [11]. The GHR (growth hormone receptor) gene affects the normal growth and development of the human body.…”
