Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association of the TNFRSF11B gene polymorphism and the lean muscle mass in population of Chinese Han living in Jinan. Methods Lean muscle mass of 419 volunteers were measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. 8 tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (tSNP) of TNFRSF11B gene were genotyped. Results Lean muscle mass of whole body increased with the copy of the G allele of TNFRSF11B-rs2875845 and the T allele of TNFRSF11B-rs1485288 (P<0.05). Conclusion The G allele of rs2875845 and the T allele of rs1485288 in TNFRSF11B gene increase the level of the lean muscle mass in Chinese Han population.
