Abstract excerpt
In order to identify genetic effects of allelic variation on bone mineral density (BMD), association studies have been performed recently. Examining the relation between PvuII and XbaI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLPs) at the estrogen receptor (ER alpha) gene and BMD, in women or men, have yielded conflicting results. We analyzed the association between this polymorphism and BMD Z score values of...
