ABSTRACT
Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) is necessary for osteoclast survival and activity and is considered as a major molecular target of aminobisphosphonates. Our objective was to analyze the influence of FDPS polymorphisms on bone mineral density (BMD) and the response to antiresortive drugs. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms of FDPS were analyzed in 1186 postmenopausal women. There was only a marginally significant association of baseline hip BMD with rs11264359 alleles (P=0.043). However, among 191 women receiving antiresortive therapy, there was a very significant association between rs2297480 or rs11264359 alleles and the BMD changes after aminobisphosphonate therapy for an average period of 2.5 years (P=0.001). The genotype explained 7.2% of the variance in the BMD response. On the other hand, there was no association between the BMD changes after raloxifene therapy and any of the polymorphisms studied. These results suggest that common polymorphisms of the FDPS gene influence the response to aminobisphosphonates.
