Susceptibility to variation of bone size and body lean mass
Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • three SNPs were also associated with variation of bone size and body lean mass
  • SNP variations in GLYAT gene influence the kinetic properties of the enzyme, and may explain some of the inter-individual variation in glycine conjugation capacity, which is relevant to the metabolism of xenobiotics such as aspirin and the industrial solvent xylene
  • Candidate gene
