Osteoporosis and osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) are associated with high medical costs and can lead to poor quality of life. Genetic factors are important in determining bone mass and structure, as well as any predisposition for bone degradation and OVF. However, genetic factors are not enough to explain osteoporosis development and OVF occurrence. Epigenetics describes a mechanism for controlling gene expression and cellular processes without altering DNA sequences. The main mechanisms in epigenetics are DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Recently, alterations in epigenetic mechanisms and their activity have been associated with osteoporosis and OVF. Here, we review emerging evidence that epigenetics contributes to the machinery that can alter DNA structure, gene expression, and cellular differentiation during physiological and pathological bone remodeling. A progressive understanding of normal bone metabolism and the role of epigenetic mechanisms in multifactorial osteopathy can help us better understand the etiology of the disease and convert this information into clinical practice. A deep understanding of these mechanisms will help in properly coordinating future individual treatments of osteoporosis and OVF.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms21249455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,13]],"date-time":"2020-12-13T23:39:36Z","timestamp":1607902776000},"page":"9455","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["The Role of Epigenomics in Osteoporosis and Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4867-6854","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kyoung-Tae","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41944, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Kyungpook National University Hospital, Daegu 41944, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6881-812X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Young-Seok","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41944, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Kyungpook National University Chilgok Hospital, Daegu 41944, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0834-9325","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inbo","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, CHA University School of medicine, CHA Bundang Medical Center, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do 13496, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1531","DOI":"10.1007\/s00198-017-3909-3","article-title":"Worldwide prevalence and incidence of osteoporotic vertebral fractures","volume":"28","author":"Ballane","year":"2017","journal-title":"Osteoporos.
