[Association of polymorphisms and haplotypes in the 5' region of COLIA1 gene with the risk of osteoporotic fractures in Russian women from Volga-Ural region].

The analysis of -1997G/T, -1663indelT, and +1245G/T polymorphic loci of the 5'region of COLIA1 gene in 124 females aged from 50 to 70 years old with low numbers of traumatic fractures as well as 150 healthy individuals from Volga-Ural region has been conducted. The association of -1663indelT and +1245G/T loci with the risk of osteoporotic fractures has been discovered. It has been shown that -1997*G*G/-1663*I*D/+1245*G*T genotype combination and -1997*G/-1663*D/+1245*T haplotype can be considered as markers for fracture development.
