Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a major risk factor for the development of osteoporosis and there is strong evidence to suggest that the procurement and preservation of peak BMD is genetically determined. In an effort to identify factors responsible for susceptibility to low BMD in the Irish population, we investigated its possible association with polymorphisms in the Osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene, Type I...
