Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Bone size is an important determinant of bone strength. Although it is well established that bone size traits are under the strong genetic control, genes involved in their determination are poorly characterized. The major objective of the present study was to test hypothesis of possible association between three RUNX2 SNP polymorphisms (rs2819858, rs1406846, rs2819854) and anthropometrical femoral...
