Oestrogen‐receptor‐α gene polymorphism affects response in bone mineral density to oestrogen in post‐menopausal women
19 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: An oestrogen-receptor-alpha (ERalpha) gene polymorphism has been variably reported to be related to bone mass. To investigate whether this ERalpha gene polymorphism is associated with a functional difference, we assessed the response in bone mineral density (BMD) to oestrogen therapy in post-menopausal women in relation to ERalpha gene polymorphism. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Subjects consisted of 124...
