Association of polymorphisms and haplotypes in the 5′ region of COLIA1 gene with the risk of osteoporotic fractures in Russian women from Volga-Ural region
The analysis of −1997G/T, −1663indelT, and +1245G/T polymorphic loci of the 5′-region of COLIA1 gene in 124 females aged from 50 to 70 years old with low numbers of traumatic fractures as well as 150 healthy individuals from Volga-Ural region has been conducted. The association of −1663indelT and +1245G/T loci with the risk of osteoporotic fractures has been discovered. It has been shown that −1997*G*G/−1663*I*D/+1245*G*T genotype combination and −1997*G/−1663*D/+1245*T haplotype can be considered as markers for fracture development.
