Abstract excerpt
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of the NF-kB ligand (RANKL) are key players in bone remodelling. Reports show that OPG and RANKL gene polymorphisms are associated with osteoporosis and fracture risk. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in OPG and RANKL gene on bone mineral density (BMD) in Indian women. The study included 374 healthy Indian...
