Abstract excerpt
Three polymorphisms have been identified in the 5' regulatory region of the COL1A1 gene at positions -1997 (rs1107946), -1663 (rs2412298), and +1245G/T (rs1800012), which combine to form haplotypes that have been associated with BMD in several populations. These polymorphisms and haplotypes have...
