Abstract excerpt
Noggin, an extracellular bone morphogenic protein (BMP) antagonist, blocks BMP signaling and decreases osteoblastogenesis. The purpose of this study was to identify novel sequence variations in the human noggin gene and to perform association analyses of these variations with phenotypes related to osteoporosis. Novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified by resequencing 7 kb of the noggin gene...
