Abstract excerpt

Bone density (BD) is an important factor in osteoporotic fracture risk in humans. However, BD is a complex trait confounded by environmental influences and polygenic inheritance. Sheep provide a potentially useful model for studying differences in BD, as they provide a means of circumventing complex environmental factors and are a similar weight to humans. The aims of this study were to establish whether there is...
