Association between osteoprotegerin gene T950C polymorphism and osteoporosis risk in the Chinese population: Evidence via meta-analysis.

Osteoporosis has been reported to be at least partially developed in response to functional polymorphisms of the osteoprotegerin (OPG). However, conflicting results have been found. This meta-analysis aimed to provide an assessment of the relationship between the risk for developing osteoporosis and OPG T950C polymorphism in the Chinese population.
