Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relation between polymorphisms in the interleukin-1(IL-1) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) gene, and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal Korean women. The IL-1alpha C(-889)T polymorphism, and IL-1beta C(-511)T polymorphism were examined by restriction fragment length polymorphism, and 86-bp variable number tandem repeat polymorphism in the IL-1ra gene was analyzed by the...
