Osteoprotegerin Gene Polymorphism and the Risk of Osteoporosis and Vascular Disease

1 Sept 2002

Abstract excerpt

We used to think our fate was in the stars. Now we know, in large measure, our fate is in our genes. [James D. Watson, 1989] A positive family history of osteoporosis is a strong predictor of low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporotic fractures. This notion has an important clinical impact when assessing an individual’s risk of developing osteoporosis. Several genetic studies conducted in monozygotic twins...
