Genetic variation in two bone-related proteins: is there an association with bone mineral density or skeletal size in postmenopausal women?

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1992

Eichner J E, Cauley J A, Ferrell R E, Cummings S R, Kuller L H

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...
