Open AccessInhibition of human positive cofactor 4 radiosensitizes human esophageal squmaous cell carcinoma cells by suppressing XLF-mediated nonhomologous end joining
Radiotherapy has the widest application to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. Factors associated with DNA damage repair have been shown to function in cell radiosensitivity. Human positive cof...

Genetic and Environmental Correlations of Bone Mineral Density at Different Skeletal Sites in Females and Males
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a complex trait having genetic and environmental determination. There are gender-specific differences in BMD measurements, and the rate of BMD changes with age and lifestyle. Prev...

Genetic and Environmental Correlations between Age at Menarche and Bone Mineral Density at Different Skeletal Sites
Low bone mineral density (BMD) is an important risk factor for osteoporotic fractures. Though previous studies have demonstrated that age at menarche (AAM) is phenotypically associated with BMD, the contributi...

A Second-Stage Genome Scan for QTLs Influencing BMD Variation
Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a major risk factor for osteoporotic fracture. To identify genomic regions harboring quantitative trait loci (QTLs) contributing to BMD variation, we performed a two-stage gen...

Association of Estrogen Receptor α and Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Bone Mineral Density in Chinese Males
Osteoporosis is a common health problem not only in females but also in males, however, studies of osteoporosis in males are relatively rare compared to those in females. This is especially true in genetics st...
