The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between Collagen 1 alpha 1 (COL1A1) polymorphism and osteoporosis in DEXA verified 349 (145 osteoporotic, 87 osteopenic and 117 normal) postmenopausal women of India, who were not taking hormone replacement therapy. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that is, −1997G/T (rs1107946) and +1245G/T (rs1800012, Sp1) of the COL1A1 gene,...
Summary The influence of VDR gene for the risk of osteoporosis has remained inconclusive. VDR gene polymorphism in relation to BMD in postmenopausal women of Northwest India revealed a susceptibility haplotype AGT. Possession of this haplotype exacerbates the risk of osteoporosis by 2.8 times, which manifests in recessive mode of inheritance. Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the...
The association of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes with bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of osteoporosis have remained unclear. The influence of APOE gene polymorphisms on BMD as genetic mediators of osteoporosis risk needs to be explored in Indian postmenopausal females where this disease is rising rampantly.The present study investigated the role and relevance of four pertinent APOE single...
