Abstract excerpt
The association between PvuII polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) gene and total as well as regional bone mineral density (BMD) in healthy Chinese women (n = 182) was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), where P indicated the absence and p the presence of PvuII restriction sites.
