Osteoporosis International, 06/25/09
Xu XH et al. - Findings suggest that the vit D-binding protein (DBP) gene might be one of the genetic factors influencing compression strength index (CSI) phenotype in Caucasians, especially in males.
Methods- Aim was to investigate if an association exists between DBP gene and CSI phenotype
- 12 SNPs of the DBP gene for association with CSI variation were examined in 405 Caucasian nuclear families comprising 1,873 subjects from the Midwestern US
- Association analyses were performed in the total sample, male and female subgroups, respectively
- Significant associations with CSI were found with 2 SNPs (rs222029 and rs222020) for the male subgroup
- Haplotype-based association tests corroborated the single-SNP results
