【 摘 要 】

References(42)Cited-By(2)The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of osteoprotegerin gene (OPG) with bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis.A total of 338 Chinese postmenopausal women with primary osteoporosis and 367 healthy controls were enrolled.The lumbar spine (L2-4), total hip and femoral neck hip of BMD were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).OPG genetic variants were genotyped through polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), created restriction site-PCR (CRS-PCR) and DNA sequencing methods.In this study, the g.18861A>G and g.25548C>T SNPs were detected and our data suggested that the significant differences of spine BMD, femoral neck hip BMD and total hip BMD were found among different g.18861A>G genotype, subjects with the AA genotype were significantly higher than those of AG and GG genotypes (p < 0.05).The g.25548C>T variant was not significantly associated with spine BMD, femoral neck hip BMD and total hip BMD (p > 0.05), while almost reached at the significant level in total hip BMD (p = 0.061).These findings suggeste that OPG gene variants are related to BMD and osteoporosis in Chinese postmenopausal women.
