Genetic determination in onset age of wrist fracture.

Abstract excerpt

The onset age of fracture may be useful to explore the clinical and genetic heterogeneity of fracture study. In the present study, we investigated the heritability of the onset age of wrist fracture (OAWF) in 30 female full-sib pairs. The phenotypic correlation coefficient of OAWF was 0.309 (P=0.09) for this cohort of female sib pairs, and the narrow-sense heritability (h2) was estimated to be 0.618 (P=0.09). In...
