Abstract excerpt
The present study was an attempt to evaluate the relative importance of familial/genetic factors in interindividual variation of plasma concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone mineral density (BMD). We also examined to what extent common genetic and environmental factors may be involved in covariation between the hormone concentrations and BMD levels. Ninety-five nuclear pedigrees (consisting of 187...
