Abstract excerpt
HLA exhibits the most extensive polymorphism of any of the known human genes and is known as a genetic marker which allows genetic background of many diseases and physical phenomena. In this study, we, therefore, tried to investigate the regulation of HLA polymorphism and peak bone mass (PBM) in order to elucidate the genetic backgrounds of bone metabolism in young women. Subjects were 67 healthy young Japanese...
