Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Osteoprotegerin plays a key role in bone remodelling. We studied the association between 24 polymorphisms and haplotypes on the OPG gene and bone mineral density and fractures. After multiple-testing correction, one SNP and two block-haplotypes were significantly associated with FN BM...
