Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We conducted a whole genome linkage scan for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying peak bone mineral density (PBMD). Our efforts identified several potential genomic regions for PBMD and highlighted the importance of epistatic interaction and sex-specific analyses in identifying genetic regions underlying PBMD variation. INTRODUCTION: Peak bone mineral density (PBMD) is an important clinical risk...
