Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic factors play a critical role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. The imbalance of WNT/β-catenin will cause the occurrence of osteoporosis. LRP5 and AXIN1 play an important role in the classical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Our study was aimed to determine the association between five candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LRP5 or AXIN1 and osteoporosis susceptibility in...
