Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) gene is a key regulator of bone mineral density and skeletal metabolism. The rs3736228 (Ala1330Val) polymorphism in LRP5 has been firmly established as a genome-wide significant locus for bone mineral density and fracture risk in large-scale GWAS. However, demographic and clinical subgroups that are frequently underrepresented in GWAS...
