Abstract excerpt
To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying variation in bone size, we conducted a whole-genome linkage scan in 53 pedigrees with 630 subjects using 380 microsatellite markers. Lumbar area 1, 2, 3, and 4 at the spine, femoral neck, trochanter, intertrochanter areas at the hip, ultradist...
