Moreover, at DXA, 33 (46.5%) ERA patients had osteopenia, and 16 (22.5%) had osteoporosis; patients with baseline bone erosions were more likely osteopenic/osteoporotic than non-erosive ones (p = 0.03), regardless of OPG, RANKL, and DKK1 plasma levels. The gene discussed is DKK1; the disease is Osteopenia.
