Association between LRP5 polymorphism and bone mineral density: a Bayesian meta-analysis (2008)

Tran, Bich NH, Nguyen, Nguyen D, Eisman, John A, Nguyen, Tuan V

Abstract Background The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 gene (LRP5) was identified to be linked to the variation in BMD in high bone mass pedigrees. Subsequent population-based...

Bone turnover in elderly men: relationships to change in bone mineral density (2007)

Nguyen, Tuan V, Meier, Christian, Center, Jacqueline R, Eisman, John A, Seibel, Markus J

Abstract Background It is not clear whether bone turnover markers can be used to make inference regarding changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in untreated healthy elderly men. The present study was...

β3-adrenergic receptor gene, body mass index, bone mineral density and fracture risk in elderly men and women: the Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study (DOES) (2006)

Wang, Claire Y, Nguyen, Nguyen D, Morrison, Nigel A, Eisman, John A, Center, Jacqueline R, Nguyen, Tuan V

Abstract Background Recent studies have suggested that the Arg allele of β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene is associated with body mass index (BMI), which is an important predictor of bone mineral...
