چکیده
Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and deterioration of bone architecture. Genetic factors are determinants of peak bone mass and may influence age-related decreases of bone mass. WHO has established an operational criterion based on bone density measuring, the T-score. 122 cases were studied, 51 diagnosed with primary osteoporosis. Mean age was 57.6 years. The main inclusion criterion was the acceptance of affected individuals to participate in the study. Accurate family history was taken. Daughters of affected persons were evaluated by DEXA technique. 67.2% of them had T-score values that indicated osteopenia or osteoporosis (mean value -2.3SD). In conclusion, descendents of affected parents are at a high risk for osteoporosis, important aspect for primary prevention.

Osteoporosis is considered as one of the most common diseases that women face after their menopause and is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) gene is one of the important genetic factors contributing in osteoporosis which has a direct and very important relationship with fasting. Fasting is one of the alternatives proved to reduce the DPP-4 level a...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental determinants of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a common, complex disease that is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Although molecular genetic studies have identified several potential regions of linkage, underlying susceptibility gene(s) are largely unknown. Genetic susceptibility to osteoporosis may be both context dependent and developmentally regulated, and epigenetic mechanisms are the likely link between ...

An essential task in a genomic analysis of a human disease is limiting the number of strongly associated genes when studying susceptibility to the disease. The goal of this study was to compare computational tools with and without feature selection for predicting osteoporosis outcome in Taiwanese women based on genetic factors such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). To elucidate relatio...
