Background: The association between low bone mineral density (BMD) and periodontitis in perimenopausal women is controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine whether osteoporosis or osteopenia is associated with periodontal disease in a population of adult women.
Methods: A sample of over-45-year-old women with or without low BMD underwent lumbar spine and hip bone densitometry and a complete periodontal examination.
Article Synopsis
- * Key genes associated with KS include KAL1, FGFR1, GNRHR, and others, indicating the genetic complexity of the disease.
- * A case study reports a 44-year-old woman with KS linked to a specific mutation (c. 246_247delAG) in the FGFR1 gene, marking it as the first documented instance of this mutation related to idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.
