The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted protein that is involved in the regulation of bone development. Defects in this gene are a cause of female-specific osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
Forensic Context
A study in humans identified a common 62-gene expression signature from heart tissue samples across multiple structural heart diseases, where the FRZB was significantly up-regulated (mean fold change 2.5309, adjusted p-value 3.4459 × 10^-43) and contributed to a random forest classifier achieving approximately 95% accuracy in distinguishing diseased from control samples [Fajarda et al. DOI:10.1186/s13040-020-00217-8].
