Abstract excerpt

SUMMARY: This longitudinal twin study documented that genetic factors explain 44-56% of the between-individual variance in bone loss at femoral neck, lumbar spine, and forearm in postmenopausal Caucasian women, providing a rationale for identifying the specific genes involved. INTRODUCTION: Although there is a significant genetic effect on peak BMD, until recently, no substantive studies on heritability of bone...
