Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: LRP5 (Lipoprotein Receptor 5) is one of the representatives of the low-density lipoprotein receptors family that play a crucial role in the process of bone homeostasis and bone remodeling. The role of LRP5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs3736228 and rs4988321 has been associated with the susceptibility to osteoporosis and bone fracture. The frequency of mentioned LRP5 SNPs is unknown among RA...
