Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in Wnt signal pathway genes and circulating osteoprotegerin (OPG), soluble receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL) levels, bone turnover markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal Korean women. METHODS: Wnt9a c256G>A; low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein...
