Chromosomal mapping of the human estrogen receptor β (ERβ) gene by fluorescence in
situ hybridization (FISH) reveals that ERβ is located at human chromosome 14, region q23 …

Bone mineral density (BMD), the main determining risk factor for osteoporotic fractures, has
a strong genetic component. Estrogen and its receptors play a critical role in both skeletal …

We investigated the association between dinucleotide (thymine-adenine) repeat
polymorphism lying upstream of human estrogen receptor (ER) gene and bone mineral …

PvuII and XbaI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) for the estrogen receptor
gene (ERG) and its relation to bone mineral density (BMD) were examined in 454 …

PBD is an important determinant of osteoporotic fractures. Few studies were performed to
search for genes underlying PBD variation in Chinese populations. We tested linkage and/or …

We examined the potential associations between Pvu II and Xba I polymorphisms in the first
intron of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α) gene and bone mineral density (BMD) in a …

Estrogen is known to play a critical role in both skeletal maturity and the rate of bone loss.
This suggests the possibility that the estrogen receptor (ER) gene is one of the candidate …

Genetic factors are important in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and the estrogen receptor
has been suggested as a possible candidate gene for regulation of bone mineral density …

Estrogen is now known to play an important role in bone metabolism in men. Thus, we
examined possible relationships between polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor (ER)-α …

Bone mineral density (BMD), the major determinant of osteoporotic fracture risk, has a strong
genetic component. The discovery that inactivation of estrogen receptor α (ER α) gene is …
