Abstract excerpt
Evidence of the linkage of chromosome 2p to bone mineral density (BMD) has previously been reported in multiple populations. However, the identification of the BMD quantitative trait loci (QTL) gene at chromosome 2p remains a challenge. We performed a gene-wide and tag single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based association study of four positional and functional candidate genes (CALM2, CYP1B1, QPCT, and POMC) in...
