Association between secreted phosphoprotein-1 (SPP1) polymorphisms and low bone mineral density in women.

BACKGROUND: A recent meta-analysis found that secreted phosphoprotein-1 (SPP1) can predict the risk of both osteoporosis and fracture. No study has explored the association of SPP1 haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) and haplotypes with bone mineral density (BMD). METHODS: Thi...
