Associations between serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase activity, biochemical parameters, and functional polymorphisms of the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase gene in a Japanese population.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: We had demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphism (787T>C) in the tissue-nonspecific ALP (TNSALP) gene was associated with the bone mineral density (BMD). BMD was the lowest among TNSALP 787T homozygotes (TT-type) and highest among TNSALP 787T>C homozygotes (CC-type) in postmenopausal women. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the TNSALP genotype on associations among serum...
