Association of the CT gene (CA) polymorphism with BMD in osteoporotic mexican women

Abstract: Calcitonin (CT) plays a role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and genetic variations in or adjacent to the CT gene may be associated with loss of bone mineral density (BMD). The correlation between a dinucleotide (cytosine-adenine) repeat polymorphism at the CT locus and BMD was examined in 70 osteoporotic women, 70 non-osteoporotic women and 500 subjects from the Mexican population. The allele A and genotype AA frequencies were significantly higher in osteoporotic women than in non-osteoporotic women (60% … Show more

“…To genotype the TA repeat and the G2014A polymorphisms of the ERα gene, the Mexican population under study was classified into the osteoporotic group (70 osteoporotic women), the control group (70 non‐osteoporotic women) and the general population group (500 subjects). We previously reported the identification of Mexican osteoporotic and non‐osteoporotic women (7).…”

“…The general Mexican population sample was obtained from the blood reference Center of the Genomic Medicine Department of Biomedical Investigation Institute – UNAM, which recruited individuals from the different geographic zones of Mexico; therefore, our sample is a representative group of the Mexican population. The identification of Mexican osteoporotic and non‐osteoporotic women was previously reported by Magaña et al (7) following the criteria of the World Health Organization.…”
