Chromosomal location

Inheritance

Biological function

Phenotype

FBXO7

(PARK15)

4q22.1

AD

Regulate proteasome-independent ubiquitination of NRAGE

Increase BMP4-mediated signaling in HEK293 cells [40]

HTRA2

(PARK13)

2p13.1

AD

Enhanced the stability of TNF receptor-associated factor 2;

Activation of the inflammatory response in mouse arthritis model [79]

LRRK2

(PARK8)

12q12

AD

Inhibit canonical Wnt signaling, decrease the levels of transcriptionally active β-catenin

Lrrk2-KO mice shown increased tibial cortical bone strength [47]

NR4A2

(NURR1)

2q22-q23

Risk factor

NR4A2 expression was induced by PTH-cAMP/PKA pathway; Enhanced the transcription of FGF23; Activate the OPN promoter

Inhibit bone resorption in mouse model [71,72,73]

DJ-1

(PARK7)

1p36.23

AR

Decrease intracellular ROS concentration and increase the activity of SHP-1 during osteoclastogenesis; Activate FGF receptor-1 signaling

Increase bone mass via negatively regulation of osteoclastogenesis and promotes osteoblasts differentiation [31, 32]

PINK1

(PARK6)

1q36.12

AR

Regulate mitophagy

Play a protective role in bone impairment [24]

PRKN

(PARK2)

6q26

AR

Regulate mitophagy; promoteβ-catenin expression and autophagy

Play a protective role in bone impairment; Promote osteoblastic differentiation and accelerate bone healing in mouse model [24,25,26]

SNCA

(PARK1; PARK4)

4q22.1

AD

a key mediator of the expression of specific network modules and the skeletal response to estrogen deficiency

Required for OVX-induced bone loss in mice [76, 77]

UCHL1

(PARK5)

4p13

AD

A component of the ubiquitin proteasome system

Regulates bone mineralization during osteogenesis in mouse model [37]

VPS35

(PARK17)

16q11.2

AD

Terminate PTH signaling in OBs; Inhibit RANKL signaling in OCs

Promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption in mouse model [57, 58]

  1. AD autosomal dominant, AR autosomal recessive
