Abstract excerpt
The association between the A1330V polymorphism of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 gene (LRP5) with bone mineral density (BMD) has been studied, but results have been mixed. Accordingly, the authors performed a meta-analysis on studies on the association between the A1330V LRP5 polymorphism and BMD. Appropriate studies were identified using MEDLINE and by manual searching. A total of 7...
