OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis is a prevalent multifactorial disease. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been studied as a potential tool for estimating disease risk. These findings suggest that the GG genotype of rs2282679 in the vitamin D-binding protein (GC) gene may confer a protective effect against osteoporosis in postmenopausal Mexican women, whereas no significant association was found for rs4516035 in the...
