PURPOSE: Runx2 and osteocalcin have pivotal roles in bone homeostasis. Polymorphism of these two genes could alter the function of osteoblasts and consequently bone mineral density (BMD). Attempts to understand the relationship between these polymorphisms and BMD in postmenopausal women across a variety of populations have yielded inconsistent results. This meta-analysis seeks to define the relationship between these polymorphisms with BMD in postmenopausal women.

METHODS: Eligible studies were identified from three electronic databases. Data were extracted from the eligible studies (4 studies on Runx2 and 6 studies on osteocalcin), and associations of Runx2 T > C and osteocalcin HindIII polymorphisms with BMD in postmenopausal women were assessed using standard difference in means (SDM) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) as statistical measures.

RESULTS: A significant difference in the lumbar spine (LS) BMD in postmenopausal women was observed between the TT and CC homozygotes for the Runx2 T > C (SDM = -0.445, p-value = 0.034). The mutant genotypes (CC) showed significantly lower LS BMD in comparison to wild type genotypes under recessive model of genetic analysis (TC + TT vs. CC: SDM = -0.451, p-value = 0.032). For osteocalcin, HindIII polymorphism, the mutant genotypes (HH) was associated with significantly higher BMD for both LS and femoral neck (FN) than the wild type (hh) homozygotes (SDM = 0.152, p-value = 0.008 and SDM = 0.139, p-value = 0.016 for LS and FN, respectively). There was no association between total hip (TH) BMD and the osteocalcin HindIII polymorphism.

CONCLUSIONS: Runx2 T > C and osteocalcin HindIII polymorphisms influence the level of BMD in postmenopausal women and may be used as predictive markers of osteoporosis.
