Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Serum calcium concentrations have been associated with bone mineral density (BMD), but results seem to depend on sex. Genetic variants in the Ryanodine Receptor1 (RYR1) gene have been previously associated with low BMD in postmenopausal women. Serum RYR1 concentration was found to be higher in osteopenia and osteoporosis groups. The function and biological relevance of RYR1 in bone...
