Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors are important for the development of osteoporosis. During the search for novel markers of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with bone mineral density (BMD) by performing a large-scale SNP screen with 251 Japanese postmenopausal women utilizing 50K SNP array, we here focused on the rs1370005 in the WD repeats and SOF1 domain-containing (WDSOF1) gene because we could found common...
