Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescence is under strong genetic control. The calcium sensing receptor (CASR) is involved in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and bone resorption. The A986S polymorphism of the CASR has recently been associated with serum calcium levels, in one hit...
