Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Polymorphisms of the TNSALP gene have not previously been studied as a possible determinant for variations in BMD or as a predisposing genetic factor for osteoporosis. This study showed a significantly higher association between the 787T>C (Tyr246His) TNSALP gene and BMD among 501 postmenopausal women. Furthermore, the effects of amino acid substitution on the catalytic property of the protein...
