Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence shows that genes that cause monogenic diseases also contribute to similar complex disease in the general population. We sought to determine whether the allelic variation in seven monogenic bone disease genes (CLCN7, TCIRGI, SOST, CA2, CSTK, TGFB1 and SLC26A2) contributes to osteoporosis/bone mineral density (BMD) variation in the normal Chinese population. We conducted a gene-wide tag...
