Linkage to chromosome 11p12 in two Maltese families with a highly penetrant form of osteoporosis.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Jul 2007

Vidal Christopher, Galea Raymond, Brincat Mark, Anastasi Angela Xuereb

Abstract excerpt

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease with a strong genetic component. Family-based linkage studies were performed by a number of investigators to try to identify loci that might contain genes responsible for an increased susceptibility to osteoporosis. A whole-genome linkage scan using 400 microsatellite markers was performed in 27 members from two Maltese families with a highly penetrant form of...
