Abstract: We present a family with a rare mutation of the LRP6 gene and for the first time provide evidence for its association with low bone mineral density. Introduction: The Wnt pathway plays a critical role in bone homeostasis. Pathogenic variants of the Wnt co-receptor LRP6 have been associated with abnormal skeletal phenotypes or increased risk of cardiovascular events. Patient and methods: Here we report an index premenopausal patient and her family carrying a rare missense LRP6 pathogenic variant (rs141212743; 0.0002 frequency among Europeans). This variant has been previously associated with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis, in the presence of normal bone mineral density. However, the LRP6 variant was associated with low bone mineral density in this family, without evidence for association with serum lipid levels or cardiovascular events. Conclusion: Thus, this novel association shows that LRP6 pathogenic variants may be involved in some cases of early-onset osteoporosis, but the predominant effect, either skeletal or cardiovascular, may vary depending on the genetic background or other acquired factors.
