Abstract excerpt
Osteoporosis is a serious public health problem that affects 200 million people worldwide. Genome-wide association studies have revealed the association between several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near WNT/β-catenin signaling genes and bone mineral density (BMD). The activation of β-catenin by WNT ligands is required for osteoblast differentiation. SNP rs9921222 is an intronic variant of AXIN1 (a...
