How does body fat influence bone mass in childhood? A Mendelian randomization approach.

Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research - 1 Mar 2009

Timpson Nicholas J, Sayers Adrian, Davey-Smith George, Tobias Jonathan H

Abstract excerpt

Fat mass may be a causal determinant of bone mass, but the evidence is conflicting, possibly reflecting the influence of confounding factors. The recent identification of common genetic variants related to obesity in children provides an opportunity to implement a Mendelian randomization study of...
