Toll-Like Receptor 4 Gene Polymorphism C1196T in Polish Women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis - Preliminary Investigation

Abstract

It is unlikely that TLR4 C1196T polymorphism is related to bone mineral density and fracture incidence in Polish osteoporotic women after menopause. However, our data suggests that the C allele may be associated with lower body height in this group. Due to the small number of participants, our observations should be considered as preliminary. Larger studies are needed to confirm our findings.
