Polymorphisms of the interleukin-6 gene are associated with bone mineral density.

Bone - 1 Jul 1997

Murray R E, McGuigan F, Grant S F, Reid D M, Ralston S H

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors play an important role in determining bone mass and several genes probably act as regulators of this process. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a candidate gene for regulation of bone density, since it has stimulatory effects on cells of the osteoclast lineage and has been implicated in the...
