Abstract excerpt
A genome-wide scan was performed in a randomly ascertained set of 330 extended families from the population-based Framingham Study to identify chromosomal regions possibly linked to bone mineral density (BMD). A set of 401 microsatellite markers was typed at a 10-centimorgan (cM) average density throughout the genome. BMD was measured at the femoral neck, trochanter, Ward's area, and lumbar spine in 1557...
