Abstract excerpt
In this study, we tested the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene as an important candidate gene for its linkage and association with the variation of bone phenotypes (bone mineral density [BMD] and bone size) in young Chinese female subjects. We genotyped the IL-6 gene at the -634C/G restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) site (ID, RS1800796) in 1263 individuals from 402 Chinese nuclear families, composed of both...
