Accordingly, we suggest that in addition to the clinical risk factors, the variants in TNFRSF11B, SPTBN1, ESR1, and LRP4 are susceptibility genetic loci for osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal Chinese women.
Estrogen receptor alpha CA dinucleotide repeat polymorphism is associated with rate of bone loss in perimenopausal women and bone mineral density and risk of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women.
We examined estrogen receptor beta (ESR2) polymorphisms in interaction with estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1) variants in relation to the risk of osteoporotic fracture, BMD, and bone geometry.
An association with BUA may explain the fact that ESR1 intron 1 alleles predict osteoporotic fractures by a mechanism partly independent of differences in BMD.
The usefulness of the approach is demonstrated by an application to test the importance of vitamin D receptor and estrogen receptor genes underlying the differential risk to osteoporotic fractures.
We therefore wanted to investigate the effect of polymorphisms in the ER-alpha gene on bone mass, bone turnover, and the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures in a study of 160 women and 30 men with vertebral fractures and 124 women and 64 men who are normal.
We conclude that in elderly Caucasian women the PvuII ESR polymorphism is not associated with osteoporosis, fracture history, nor muscle strength and does not influence the association of bone density and muscle strength with polymorphism of the VDR.

Evaluation was completed for patients, aged 50-80 years with a BMD T-score ≤ -3.5 or with a T-score between -2.5 and -3.5 and a history of ≥ one osteoporotic fracture.
Association of Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms With Activity of Acromegaly, Vitamin D Status and Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures in Acromegaly Patients.
The stiffness index (SI) from quantitative ultrasound measurements is a good indicator of BMD and may be used to predict the risk of osteoporotic fracture.

Evaluation was completed for patients, aged 50-80 years with a BMD T-score ≤ -3.5 or with a T-score between -2.5 and -3.5 and a history of ≥ one osteoporotic fracture.
After multivariable adjustment, including for total hip areal BMD, decreased HR-pQCT finite element analysis EFL for each site was associated with significantly greater odds of prior confirmed clinical fracture and major osteoporotic fracture.
Meta-analytic data confirm the effectiveness of an FLS following an osteoporotic fracture: approximate 27% increase in the likelihood of BMD testing and up to 21% increase in the likelihood of treatment initiation compared with usual care.
The best discrimination between women with and without fracture was obtained at the radius with total vBMD, the combination of a Tb with a Ct parameter, or with failure load, which improved the area under the curve (AUC) for major osteoporotic fracture when added to FN aBMD (0.760 versus 0.695, p = 0.022) or to FRAX-BMD (0.759 versus 0.714, p = 0.015).
Participants (n = 4379; mean age 72.9 ± 5.5 years) were from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) prospective cohort study and had dietary data collected at baseline (March 2000-April 2002) and BMD measured at baseline and Visit 2 (March 2005-May 2006).
