WNT16 influences bone mineral density, cortical bone thickness, bone strength, and osteoporotic fracture risk.

WNT16 influences bone mineral density, cortical bone thickness, bone strength, and osteoporotic fracture risk.

We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with cortical bone thickness (CBT) and bone mineral density (BMD) by performing two separate genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses for CBT in 3 cohorts comprising 5,878 European subjects and for BMD in 5 cohorts comprising 5,672 individua...
