Abstract excerpt
The polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor (ER) gene defined by the restriction enodonucleases PvuII and XbaI have recently been reported to be associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. To investigate the possible relation of the PvuII and XbaI restriction fragment-length polymorphisms of the ER gene with BMD in Danish postmenopausal women, two studies were undertaken: 1) a...
