Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the genetic markers for osteoporosis bone mineral density by the genotyping of rs7041, rs4588 and rs1352845 in the DBP gene with either bone mineral density or serum 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, retinol and α-tocopherol, among 365 postmenopausal Thai women. MATERIALS & METHODS: The DBP genotypes were analyzed by a PCR restriction fragment-length polymorphism method. Serum...
