Objective: Several studies including ours have reported significant associations between polymorphisms (SNPs) of the HSD11B1 gene and bone metabolism. The aim of the present study was to explore systematically the potential associations between SNPs of the HSD11B1 gene and bone mineral density (BMD) in women with endogenous Cushing’s syndrome (CS) and healthy postmenopausal women.Patients and methods: A complex bioinformatical including haplotype an...
