Abstract excerpt
Genetic analyses for loci regulating bone mineral density have been conducted in a cohort of F(2) mice derived from intercross matings of (C57BL/6J x CAST/EiJ)F(1) parents. Femurs were isolated from 714 4-month-old females when peak adult bone density had been achieved. Bone mineral density (BMD) data were obtained by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT), and genotype data were obtained by...
