Bone mineral density in egyptian children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: possible correlation to serum RANKL / osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio and OPG gene polymorphisms

Bone mineral density in egyptian children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: possible correlation to serum RANKL / osteoprotegerin (OPG) ratio and OPG gene polymorphisms

Abstract Background Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are at higher risk of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) compared with healthy children due to genetic, disease and medication-related causes. This study aims to investigate the possible effects of osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene pol...
