Abstract

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle, so much so that even a fall or minor stress, such as bending over or coughing, can cause a fracture. Fractures associated with osteoporosis are most common in the hip, wrist or spine. Osteoporosis affects men and women of all races. But white and Asian women, especially those who are postmenopausal, are at greatest risk. Medications, a healthy diet, and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones. Sex hormones decreased sex hormones are likely to lead to weak bones. The drop in estrogen levels in women after menopause is one of the strongest risk factors for osteoporosis. Prostate cancer treatments that reduce testosterone levels in men and breast cancer treatments that reduce estrogen levels in women also likely accelerate bone loss. The present study aims to highlight on role of DNA extraction and purity of DNA in Iraqi patients with osteoporosis. In order to achieve that, 50 patients of female with osteoporosis the age average (25-65) years. Another 40 individuals were selected as the healthy control of female, with the age average of (20-40) years. The measured concentration and purity of DNA after DNA extraction. The obtained results after comparing patients with the healthy groups indicated DNA purity in patients and healthy control, there was no effect in osteoporosis disease in the present study.
