Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the PPAR gamma, osteoporosis.

摘要

A method for determining the propensity of an individual for developing osteoporosis, the method comprising: detecting the presence of homozygous PPAR Pro12Ala alleles, or homozygous alleles of PPAR VN102G in a sample from the individual; and recording a diagnosis of an increased risk of osteoporosis when homozygous PPAR Pro12Ala alleles or homozygous PPAR VN102G alleles are present.
