Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and leptin receptor (LEPR) polymorphism (Gln223 Arg) in young women and postmenopausl osteoporotic women. METHODS: BMD values were determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The Gln223 Arg genotypes of LEPR were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. RESULTS: Hardy-Weinberg...
