ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown the bone mineral density of postmenopausal women is closely related to parathyroid hormone. But there are differences in different areas. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the association between BstBⅠ polymorphism of parathyroid hormone gene with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women from Fuzhou area. METHODS:The bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, trochanter and Ward’s triangle were measured in 150 postmenopausal women by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The genotype of parathyroid hormone gene was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The distribution of parathyroid hormone genotypes were BB genotype 68.8%, Bb 24.1%, and bb 7.1%. The B al elic gene frequencies reached 81%, while b was 19%. The distribution fol owed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (2) Analysis of the relationship between the genotypes and bone mineral density:There was no significant difference in the bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine, femur, neck, trochanter and Ward’s triangle among the three genotypes (P>0.05). BstBⅠ gene polymorphism of parathyroid hormone gene is not correlated to bone mineral density, and there is no enough evidence to support genotype of parathyroid hormone gene as a genetic marker in predicting the risk of developing osteoperosis in Fuzhou postmenopausal women.
