The effect of SOX4 gene 3'UTR polymorphisms on osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to explore the correlation between the SRY-related high-mobility-group box gene 4 (SOX4) 3' untranslated region (UTR) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and osteoporosis susceptibility.

Methods

The study recruited 330 osteoporosis patients (the case group) and 330 non-osteoporosis patients (the control group) in Sichuan Chengdu First People's Hospital and Zibo Central Hospital from August 2016 to August 2019. Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the genotypes of SOX4 gene rs79958549, rs139085828, and rs201335371 loci. Multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) was used to analyze the interaction between the SOX4 gene rs79958549, rs139085828, and rs201335371 loci and the clinical characteristics of the subjects.
