Abstract excerpt
Functional polymorphisms in the promoter region of interleukin-6 (IL-6) are known to be involved in bone mineral density (BMD) and the development of osteoporosis, but the reported results have been inconsistent. Using the meta-analysis approach, the present study is designed to provide a relatively comprehensive picture of the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) or osteoporosis and polymorphisms in...
