Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine if GC (group-specific component globulin) and CYP2R1 genetic variants have an association with serum 25-OHD3 levels, BMD or bone turnover markers in a population of Chinese postmenopausal women. DESIGN: We randomly selected 1494 postmenopausal women of the Han ethnic group from seven communities in Beijing. BMD was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; serum bone turnover markers...
