Association Between Serum Insulin Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) and a Simple Sequence Repeat in IGF-I Gene: Implications for Genetic Studies of Bone Mineral Density
1998-07-01
Abstract excerpt
We recently demonstrated that insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) cosegregates with bone mineral density (BMD) in progenitor crosses of two inbred strains of mice. Additionally, we reported that men with idiopathic osteoporosis (IOM) have low serum IGF-I levels, which can be related to BMD and bone turnover. In this study, we considered the possibility that serum IGF-I levels are influenced by molecular genetic variat...
