Abstract excerpt
Frizzleds are receptors for Wnt signaling and are involved in skeletal morphogenesis. Little is known about the transcriptional regulation of frizzleds in bone cells. In the current study, we determined if two common and potentially functional genetic variants (rs2232157, rs2232158) in the frizzled-1 (FZD1) promoter region and their haplotypes influence FZD1 promoter activity in human osteoblast-like cells. We...
