Abstract excerpt
A (TTTA)n polymorphism in the aromatase gene has been studied in relation to bone mineral density (BMD). The low number of TTTA repeats has been associated with low BMD and fracture risk. The aim of this study was to search for associations of TTTA copy number with hip fracture and lumbar spine osteoporosis in Mexican peri and postmenopausal women. The allele with seven repeats was present in the two reported...
