A Genome-Screen of a Large Twin Cohort Reveals Linkage for Quantitative Ultrasound of the Calcaneus to 2q33–37 and 4q12–21

1 Feb 2004

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: A genome-wide screen was performed on a large cohort of dizygous twin pairs to identify regions of the genome that contain QTL for QUS of bone. Suggestive linkage of QUS parameters to 2q33-37 and 4q12-21 highlighted these regions as potentially important for studies of genes that regulate bone. INTRODUCTION: The genetics of osteoporotic fracture is only partly explained by bone mineral density (BMD)....
