Abstract

PvuII and XbaI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the estrogen receptor (ER) gene and its relation to bone mineral density (BMD) were examined in 238 postmenopausal healthy women aged 45–91 years (66.3 ± 0.6 years, mean ± standard error of the mean [SEM]) in Japan. The RFLPs were represented as Pp (PvuII) and Xx (XbaI), with capital letters signifying the absence of and small letters the presence of restriction sites. In the PPxx genotype (n = 18), Z score values of BMD were significantly lower than those for other genotypes (n = 220) (lumbar spine, −0.746 vs. −0.065 [p = 0.022]; total body, −0.482 vs. 0.308 [p = 0.002]). We classified the subjects into three genotypes with allelic haplotype: homozygote of the Px haplotype was expressed as the 11 genotype, heterozygote of the Px haplotype as the 10 genotype, and the one lacking the Px haplotype as the 00 genotype. The PpXx genotype was not included in this analysis because the allelic haplotypes are uncertain. The Px haplotype was associated with a low BMD in postmenopausal women (Z score for the lumbar spine, −0.746 vs. −0.279 vs. 0.083, for the 11, 10, 00 genotypes, respectively [p = 0.029]; Z score for the total body, −0.482 vs. 0.164 vs. 0.427, respectively [p = 0.003]). We suggest that some variation of the ER gene linked to these RFLPs is associated with low BMD and that this at least partly explains the cause of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Japanese women.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
