Genetic and Environmental Determinants of Volumetric and Areal BMD in Multi-Generational Families of African Ancestry: The Tobago Family Health Study

17 Jan 2007

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: BMD is higher and fracture risk is lower among individuals of African versus European descent, but little is known about the genetic architecture of BMD in the former group. Heritabilities of areal and volumetric BMD were moderate in our large families of African descent but differed for trabecular and cortical BMD. INTRODUCTION: Populations of African ancestry have lower osteoporotic fracture risk...
