Gonadal function in Bloom's syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with skeletal fragility. While previous meta-analyses have demonstrated an increased risk of fracture in individuals with T1DM, little is known about fracture risk in T1DM, in the absence of age-related confounders. AIMS:To determine the risk of fracture in youn...
