Genome-wide association study using extreme truncate selection identifies novel genes affecting bone mineral density and fracture risk.

Genome-wide association study using extreme truncate selection identifies novel genes affecting bone mineral density and fracture risk.

Osteoporotic fracture is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a major predisposing factor to fracture and is known to be highly heritable. Site-, gender-, and age-specific genetic effects on BMD are thought to be significant, but have largely not been...
