Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation of the androgen receptor gene microsatellite polymorphism (CAG trinucleotide repeat polymorphism on exon 1) with bone mineral density and their relationship to osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. STUDY DESIGN: A number of 168 of 477 postmenopausal women were randomly recruited. The androgen receptor gene microsatellite polymorphism was determined using polymerase chain...
