Abstract excerpt
Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) is necessary for osteoclast survival and activity and is considered as a major molecular target of aminobisphosphonates. Our objective was to analyze the influence of FDPS polymorphisms on bone mineral density (BMD) and the response to antiresortive drugs. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms of FDPS were analyzed in 1186 postmenopausal women. There was only a marginally...
