Abstract excerpt
Osteoporosis is a common age-related disease with a strong genetic influence. Polymorphisms of ESR1 have consistently been shown to be associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture; however, in regulating bone metabolism, ESR1 interacts with both ESR2 and RIZ1. We therefore examined the effects of polymorphisms in the ESR1, ESR2, and RIZ1 genes and their haplotypes on vertebral fractures and BMD in a...
