UNLABELLED: Herein we investigated the association between polymorphisms in the LRP5 gene and bone phenotypes and fractures in three large male cohorts based on the rationale that mutations in LRP5 cause severe bone phenotypes. Results showed an association of the Val667Met SNP with spine BMD in 3,800 young and elderly men. INTRODUCTION: The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5)-Wnt signalling...
