Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Genetic analysis of an NZB/B1NJ x RF/J cross has identified QTLs for femur mechanical, geometric, and densitometric phenotypes. Most mechanical QTLs were associated with geometric QTLs, strongly suggesting common genetic regulation. INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have shown that bone...
