An Sp1 Binding Site Polymorphism in the COLIA1 Gene Predicts Osteoporotic Fractures in Both Men and Women
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, and recent studies have shown that a polymorphic Sp1 binding site in collagen type I alpha1 (COLIA1) gene is associated with bone mass and vertebral fractures in women from the U.K. Information on the predictive value of the COLIA1 Sp1 polymorphism in other populations is limited, however, and no studies have yet been performed in...
