Associating genetic variation at Perilipin 1, Complement Factor D and Adiponectin loci to the bone health status in North Indian population

Osteoporosis, the most common bone metabolic disease affecting nearly 200 million people worldwide is under the strong influence of genetic components. Simultaneously, adipogenesis and osteogenesis are two highly coordinated processes imperative for the maintenance of bone quality and quantity, wher...

Description
Summary:Osteoporosis, the most common bone metabolic disease affecting nearly 200 million people worldwide is under the strong influence of genetic components. Simultaneously, adipogenesis and osteogenesis are two highly coordinated processes imperative for the maintenance of bone quality and quantity, where any perturbation leads to pathological conditions of obesity, osteopenia and osteoporosis. To delineate this adipogenic-osteogenic connection, a total of 254 cases (T-score
