Association between osteoporosis and polymorphisms of the bone Gla protein, estrogen receptor 1, collagen 1-A1 and calcitonin receptor genes in Turkish postmenopausal women.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we have investigated the association between osteoporosis and osteocalcin (BGLAP) -298 C>T, estrogen receptor 1 (ER1) 397 T>C, collagen type1 alpha 1 (Col1A1) 2046 G>T and calcitonin receptor (CALCR) 1340 T>C polymorphisms. Genomic DNA was obtained from 266 persons (158 osteoporotic and 108 healthy controls). Genomic DNA was extracted from EDTA-preserved peripheral venous blood of patients and...
