Genetic determinants of susceptibility to osteoporosis.

Abstract excerpt

Major advances in our knowledge about the genetic determinants of osteoporosis have been made in recent years. They include the discovery of genes responsible for monogenic bone diseases associated with abnormal bone mass; the identification of quantitative trait loci for bone mass in the general population and in mice; and the characterisation of several candidate genes for osteoporosis. Information from these...
