Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of polymorphism in estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-alpha ) gene with bone mineral density(BMD) in men. METHODS: The ER-alpha Xba I, Pvu II and Bst UI genotypes were determined by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in 388 unrelated healthy men who were 46-80 years old and were of Han nationalities in Shanghai city. Bone mineral densities (BMD, g/cm(2)) at...
