Methods: Spine and hip BMD as well as fracture history were investigated in 140 postmenopausal Chinese women. Genotyping was performed for 3 SNPs of ESR2 gene, Van91| and Rsa| in exon 5, and AluI in exon 8. For each SNP, subjects were divided into 2 groups: the “carrier group” including individuals with at least 1 allele bearing the restriction site and the “wild-type group” including the rest of the subjects. Results: Only VV genotype was observed for the Van91| locus. The distribution of RsaI genotypes was 81.43% for RR, 17.14% for Rr, 1.43% for rr, and of AluI genotypes was 87.86% for AA and 12.14% for Aa, and aa was absent. Spine BMD differed significantly in the 2 groups of RsaI SNP after adjusting for confounding variables (P = 0.0042), while hip BMD differed significantly in the 2 groups of AluI SNP after adjustment (P 0.05). Conclusions: The RsaI and AluI SNPs of ESR2 gene may influence BMD variation, but does not appear to correlate with the risk of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women.","PeriodicalId":50531,"journal":{"name":"Endocrinologist","volume":"44 1","pages":"174-178"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72909875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After L-thyroxin suppressive treatment, no significant difference was observed in both right and left thyroid lobe volume and dominant nodule volume. Only left thyroid volume significantly increased in control group. In our study, there was no significant effect on nodule volume with L-thyroxin treatment.
