Abstract excerpt
Baboons share many anatomical, physiological, and developmental characteristics with humans that make them excellent models for human bone maintenance and turnover. We conducted statistical genetic analyses, including a whole-genome linkage screen, of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry-acquired measures of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), currently the most reliable single predictor of susceptibility to...
