Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Wnt signaling through low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) is an important determinant of bone mass regulation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of two LRP5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) A1330V and V667M on bone mineral density (BMD) and serum levels of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and bone metabolic markers in a Greek...
