The relationship between COLI A1 polymorphisms (Sp 1) and COLI A2 polymorphisms (Eco R1 and Puv II) with bone mineral density in Chinese men and women.

Abstract excerpt

Polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify across variable restriction sites of the COLI A1 and COLI A2 genes that encode the alpha 1 and 2 subunits of type I collagen. The relationship between these polymorphisms and bone mineral density (BMD) was studied in 683 Chinese men and women. In 100 men and women, COLI A1 Sp1 polymorphism was not found, which was consistent with other previous studies in Asian...
