Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the association between osteoporosis and estrogen receptor 1 (ER1) 397 T>C, and calcitonin receptor (CALCR) 1340 T>C polymorphisms. Genomic DNA was obtained from 104 persons (52 osteoporotic and 52 healthy controls). Genomic DNA was extracted from EDTA-preserved peripheral venous blood of patients and controls and analyzed by PCR-RFLP. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference in the genotype and allele frequencies of patients and controls for ER1 397 T>C and CALCR 1340 T>C polymorphisms. ER1 CC and TC single nucleotides genotypes compared with TT genotypes was found more significantly women with osteoporosis [p=0.016; p=0.0046, OR=2.66; 0.44, 95% CI 1.185-5.988; 0.199-0.991)]. There was no statistically significant difference in the genotype and allele frequencies of patient and controls for ER1 combined nucleotides [p=0,148, OR=1.051, 95% CI (0.993–1.112)]. Our study showed that CALCR genes single and combined nucleotides genotypes were not significant women with osteoporotic and healthy postmenopausal women.

Author Comment

This study was first performed on the detection of osteoporosis factors correlating with genotypes of ER1 and CALCR among Mongolian postmenopausal women.
