ABSTRACT:
Diagnostic means that determines the genotype of a collagen gene of an individual is described. A polymorphism in the collagen gene correlates with predisposition to osteoporosis, so diagnosis of a predisposition is achieved using the diagnostic means. An isolated gene comprising the nucleotide substitution of the polymorphism is also described, as is a method of diagnosis based on the presence or absence of the polymorphism.
