Body mass index and gynecological factors as determinants of bone mass in healthy Moroccan women.
UNLABELLED Several studies have shown that low body mass index (BMI) is associated with low BMD and fractures. However, the results that have been published from studies on reproductive factors and BMD are extremely controversial, with some demonstrating a beneficial effect, while others show a detrimental impact of these factors on bone mass. OBJECTIVE To study the influence of several gynec...
متن کاملChildhood bone mass acquisition and peak bone mass may not be important determinants of bone mass in late adulthood.
During childhood and adolescence, bone mass acquisition occurs primarily through skeletal growth. It is widely assumed that bone mass acquisition throughout childhood is an important determinant of the risk of osteoporosis in late adulthood; bone mass is thought to resemble a bank account in which deposits persist indefinitely. However, several well-controlled clinical studies suggest that incr...
متن کاملPrioritization of Genetic Variants in the microRNA Regulome as Functional Candidates in Genome-Wide Association Studies
Comprehensive analyses of results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have demonstrated that complex disease/trait-associated loci are enriched in gene regulatory regions of the genome. The search for causal regulatory variation has focused primarily on transcriptional elements, such as promoters and enhancers. microRNAs (miRNAs) are now widely appreciated as critical posttranscriptiona...
متن کاملGlutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) genetic variants as determinants of hyperhomocysteinemia: implications in stroke susceptibility.
The rationale of this case-control study is to ascertain whether glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) variants serve as determinants of hyperhomocysteinemia and contribute to the etiology of stroke. Hyperhomocysteinemia was observed in stroke cases compared to controls (14.09 +/- 7.62 micromol/L vs. 8.71 +/- 4.35, P < 0.0001). GCPII sequencing revealed two known variants (R190W and H475Y) and ...
