Abstract excerpt
Candidate osteoporosis gene variants were examined for associations with fracture risk and bone mineral density (BMD). A total of 9,704 white women were recruited at four U.S. clinical centers and enrolled into the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures, a longitudinal cohort study. Genotyping of 31 polymorphisms from 18 candidate osteoporosis genes was performed in 6,752 women. Incident radiographic fractures were...
