Abstract excerpt
Bone mineral density (BMD) is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. We previously reported the association of the RUNX2 A allele with increased bone mineral density (BMD) and protection against a common form of osteoporotic fracture within a Geelong population. We genotyped 991 women from a Scottish cohort to decipher the role of RUNX2 alleles in regulating BMD. The alleles of RUNX2 within the...
