Coprimary end points were radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival. Secondary end points included the time until the initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy, the time until the first skeletal-related event, the best overall soft-tissue response, the time until PSA progression, and a decline in the PSA level of 50% or more from baseline. Prespecified exploratory end points included quality of life, as measured with the use of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Prostate (FACT-P) scale, and a decline in the PSA level of 90% or more from baseline. End-point definitions are provided in Table S1 in the Supplementary Appendix, available at NEJM.org.
Radiographic disease was evaluated with the use of either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and with the use of bone scanning. Imaging was performed at the time of screening, at weeks 9, 17, and 25, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Radiologists at a central location who were unaware of the study-group assignments determined whether there was progressive disease on the basis of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1, for soft tissue or on the basis of criteria adapted from the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 217 (link) for osseous disease (Table S1 in the Supplementary Appendix).

We performed genome-wide association (GWA) analyses by two approaches, using both family-based and population-based methods. (See description of the general statistical methods for GWA and linkage analyses in the Overview paper [30 (link)]). Both sex-specific and combined-sexes analyses were performed. We used additive generalized estimating equation (GEE) and family-based association tests (FBAT) models to test associations of our phenotypes. Family based association testing has a great power to detect genetic variants of modest effect size [30 (link),36 (link)].
In order to prioritize SNPs potentially associated with multiple phenotypes, we evaluated several phenotypic subgroups: (1) clinically important bone mineral density traits (FNBMD, TRBMD, LSBMD), (2) a combination of BMDs with BUA, (3) hip geometry (NSA, NeckLeng, NeckW and ShaftW), and (4) hip BMDs with hip geometry. We also focused on BMD in sex-specific subgroups. For each SNP we calculated the number of traits significantly associated with this SNP at alpha <0.01 in both GEE and FBAT, assuring that the FBAT and GEE effects were in the same direction. We then selected top SNPs with highest numbers of nominally significantly associated traits. For identical proportions of nominally significant traits, SNPs were additionally ranked by the mean of GEE p-values across traits (as well, GEE p-values were used for SNP ranking in the sex-specific subgroups due to a small sample size for FBAT analysis).
For SNPs that were selected by more than one strategy and that pertained to a specific gene (according to the NCBI Build 35), we perused Entrez Gene and also queried PubMed using the gene name and "osteoporosis", "fracture" or "bone mass" terms, in order to identify biological plausibility or evidence relating these genes specifically to bone disease.
Variance component analyses (VCA) for all phenotypes were performed on normalized or rank-normalized residuals using the computer package Sequential Oligogenic Linkage Analysis Routines (SOLAR, SFBR/NIH, San Antonio, TX) version 2.0, available online http://www.sfbr.org/solar/doc/00.contents.html. Heritability (h2) of each phenotype was estimated as the proportion of the total phenotypic variance attributable to the additive effects of genes. Subsequent linkage analyses were also conducted using SOLAR. This method, described in detail elsewhere [37 (link)] (see description of the linkage methods in the Overview paper [30 (link)]), entails specification of the genetic covariance between arbitrary relatives as a function of the identity-by-descent (IBD) relationships at a given marker locus and models the covariance matrix for a pedigree as the sum of the additive genetic covariance attributable to the QTL, the additive genetic covariance due to the effects of loci other than the QTL, and the variance due to unmeasured environmental factors. VCA linkage used IBDs values that were calculated from 11,200 markers.

This study was conducted in participants of the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study (WHIOS) enrolled at the University at Buffalo clinical center (N=2249) (Figure 1). These postmenopausal women were contacted between 1997–2000 and invited to participate in an ancillary study of osteoporosis and oral bone loss (Osteo Perio Ancillary Study) (25 (link)). Those interested and eligible completed a series of questionnaires, had an oral examination and underwent systemic bone density screening. A total of 1362 women participated in this ancillary study. Of those, 1341 who had complete baseline questionnaires (5 missing questionnaires) and oral radiographs (16 incomplete radiographs) were invited back approximately 5 years later for a follow-up study where questionnaire information and standardized examinations were repeated. Among the 1341 participants from the baseline study invited to the follow-up examination, 101 were ineligible, 51 were determined to be deceased, 151 were not interested in participating, 3 withdrew from the original WHI observational study, and 9 were unable to be contacted. An additional 5 consented but had an incomplete dental exam at the follow-up visit. These analyses are based on the remaining 1,021 individuals who participated in the follow-up study. Participants were ineligible for the baseline study if they had less than 6 teeth remaining, history of bone disease, bilateral hip replacement, cancer diagnosis in the 10 years prior to interview, and certain other serious illnesses (25 (link)). For the follow-up study, women were ineligible if during the follow-up they developed cancer or an immunosuppressive disorder (eg. transplant recipient), were on long term antibiotic treatment or received recent dental x-rays within the prior year. All participants provided signed informed consent for the WHI-OS, as well as the baseline and follow-up ancillary studies. All studies were approved by the University at Buffalo’s Health Sciences Institutional Review Board.

Causal relationships between diseases and gut microbiota were investigated at genus and species levels only to maximize interpretability. In total, 213 species and 148 genera associated with at least one variant at genome-wide significant level (P < 1 × 10−8) were included. GWAS summary results were collected for 46 diseases from MR-Base115 (Supplementary Table 4). These included 12 autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, 9 cardiometabolic diseases, 13 psychiatric or neurological diseases, 4 bone diseases and 8 cancers. For diseases with more than one GWAS record, the record with the largest sample size was kept.
Bidirectional causal inference was performed to infer causal effects of microbial abundance variation (exposure) on disease risk (outcome), and of disease (exposure) on microbial abundance levels (outcome). To select the SNP instruments for microbial exposures in our study (Supplementary Table 7), we followed recommendations from a previous study showing that associated SNPs below a significance threshold of P < 1 × 10−5 had the largest explained variance on microbial features116 (link). For each taxon, GCTA-COJO was used to perform a conditional analysis to select independently associated SNPs at P < 1 × 10−5. F statistics were calculated to estimate the strength of instruments for each bacterial exposure, and were found to be >10 for all exposures (Supplementary Table 5). SNP instruments for disease exposures were selected at genome-wide significance threshold (P < 5 × 10−8). Subsequently LD-clumping with a strict threshold (r2 < 0.001 in the 1000 Genomes European data within 10 Mb windows) was conducted to select independent instruments with the lowest P values for taxa and diseases, respectively.
Details about the precise methods used for MR inference can be found in the Supplementary Note.

PALOMA-3 randomly assigned 521 patients with endocrine-pretreated MBC to receive palbociclib plus fulvestrant or placebo plus fulvestrant.4 (link) This study was approved by an institutional review board or independent ethics committee at each site; all patients provided informed consent before enrollment. Patients consented to the assessment of biomarkers associated with sensitivity or resistance to palbociclib combination treatment per study protocol. Except for patients with bone-only disease or relapse while on adjuvant therapy and who had surgery within 3 years who could provide an archival primary sample, all patients provided formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue taken from metastatic disease. One FFPE tissue sample (two slides per patient) was stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and a board-certified pathologist assessed tumor content and tissue necrosis (additional details provided in the Data Supplement).
To independently validate the association between CCNE1 mRNA expression and efficacy of palbociclib, we analyzed gene expression data from 61 patients in the POP trial (Data Supplement).21 (link) This trial allocated women with untreated early-stage breast cancer three to one to receive oral palbociclib for 14 days until the day before surgery or to no treatment.

As determined by the individual situation, an autogenous tricortical bone graft of appropriate size was harvested from the ipsilateral iliac crest. Cancellous bone was harvested with the smallest osteotome possible. A longitudinal dorsal incision was made lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon with an interface between the extensor hallucis longus tendon and the dorsalis pedis artery, both of which were retracted correspondingly. The soft tissue was distracted by a lamina spreader to expose the talonavicular and navicular-cuneiform joints. The talonavicular and navicular-cuneiform joints were distracted using a Hintermann distractor over separate K-wires. The articular surfaces were debrided in situ with cartilage shovels to the subchondral bone. A K-wire was used to drill the subchondral sclerotic bone plate into a favaginous condition for fusion. Then bite off the excess osteophyte from the lateral 4-corners. The plantar ligament and plantar soft tissue of the navicular are loosened with a sharp knife, leaving only the insertion point of the posterior tibial tendon. The whole debridement process created a relative space around the navicular bone. Subsequently, a periosteal detacher was pressed against the lateral bony protrusion of the navicular bone to rotate the bone outwards to the original top location. Once the reduction was deemed satisfactory by direct visualization, two to three crossing K-wires were used for temporary fixation. After the demonstration of the corrected medial longitudinal arch on the C-arm, the lateral half of the navicular bone (including the talonavicular and navicular-cuneiform joints involved in the necrotic lesion) was excised using an osteotome to form a broad dorsal trapezoid laterally and a rectangular longitudinal bone bed. And the modified tricortical iliac bone block was inserted into the space between the talus and the cuneiforms. Finally, two hollow lag screws and a dorsal LCP were used to arthrodese the talonavicular-cuneiform joints. A transverse Herbert screw was used (where needed) to fix the bone block and medial navicular bone. The wound was closed after packing the previously acquired cancellous bone to smooth the defect gaps.
Postoperatively, a protective non-weight bearing short-leg plaster cast was applied for 6 weeks, after which weight-bearing was gradually allowed as tolerated.
