Genetic factors substantially contribute to variation in bone mass. There is a controversy as to whether shared genetic factors exist for bone mass at different sites. We hypothesize that using a composite phenotypic score of several correlated bone mass measures may provide complementary results for linkage studies. In the members of 323 pedigrees from the Framingham Osteoporosis Study, bone mineral density...
