Introduction: Osteocalcin (OC) is a marker of bone formation but also seems to play a hormonal role in the regulation of glucose and energy metabolism. Recently, an association of BMI with a haplotype composed of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene for OC, located on chromosome 1q22, was observed in ethnically homogeneous European pedigrees.Aim: The aim of the study was to test the association of these three polymorphisms in the gene...
