Abstract excerpt
In an effort to determine if structural variation in proteins important in bone metabolism might influence bone mineral density (BMD) and thus be a determinant of susceptibility to osteoporosis in older women, the authors typed a group of 258 non-Black women (age 65-90) participating in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) for two polymorphic bone-related proteins, group specific component (Gc), also known...
