Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Animal studies suggest that arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (encoded by ALOX5) may be a genetic determinant of bone mineral density. We tested this hypothesis in a sample of healthy men and women and did not find consistent evidence for an association between variation in this gene and either lumbar spine or femoral neck BMD. INTRODUCTION: Phenotypic variation in bone mineral density (BMD) among healthy...
