Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) could affect differentiation of osteoblasts and bone mass through potentiating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. LGR4 is also relevant to glycolipid metabolism. The present study aims to explore the relationship between genetic variations in LGR4 gene and peak bone mineral density (peak BMD) and body composition phenotypes in Chinese nuclear...
