Association between LGR4 polymorphisms and peak bone mineral density and body composition

ConclusionIt is the first family-based association analysis to explore and demonstrate significant associations betweenLGR4 genotypes and variations of peak BMD and body composition in young Chinese men. The results are consistent with the findings that recent studies revealed, and confirm the critical relationship betweenLGR4 gene and both BMD and body composition.
