Introduction: Amino-Bisphosphonates (N-BPs) are potent inhibitors of the bone resorption, they inhibit enzymes of the intracellular mevalonate pathway required for prenylation of different important signaling proteins. In order to study the genetic basis of the variability in therapy response we have analysed the polymorphism of farnesyl pyrophosphate-synthase (FDPS) gene in 234 postmenopausal Danish women treated with N-BPs for 1 and 2 years.Methods: Th...
