Association of Polymorphisms in RANK and RANKL Genes with Osteopenia in Arab Postmenopausal Women

The RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway regulates bone remodelling and turnover. However, the genetic background of bone mineral density (BMD) and osteopenia in Saudi postmenopausal women is yet to be studied. We studied the genetic polymorphism of RANKL/RANK/OPG with BMD and other associated factors in Saudi po...
