Abstract excerpt
Involvement of genetic factors in determining bone mineral density (BMD) is doubtless. However, the exact nature of the genes governing BMD variation and sources for genetic determination of BMD of different parts of bone (compact and cancellous) have not been completely studied. The results of the complex segregation analyses performed in our previous study (Livshits et al. 1996) on a Turkmenian sample strongly...
