Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Osteoprotegerin (OPG) has been associated with cardiovascular events but currently the mechanisms underlying this association are unknown. OPG is thought to play a role in controlling artery calcification and small studies have suggested that it may influence artery structure. We examined the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding OPG (tumor necrosis factor...
