Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Genetic analyses with mouse congenic strains for distal Chr1 have identified three closely linked QTLs regulating femoral vBMD, mid-diaphyseal cortical thickness, and trabecular microstructure in a sex-dependent fashion. The homologous relationship between distal mouse Chr 1 and human 1q21-24 offers the possibility of finding common regulatory genes for cortical and trabecular bone. INTRODUCTION: The...
