Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Osteoporotic fracture (OF) is a serious outcome of osteoporosis. Important risk factors for OF include reduced bone mineral density and unstable bone structure. This genome-wide copy number variation association study suggested VPS13B gene for osteoporosis in Caucasians. INTRODUCTION: Bone mineral density (BMD) and femoral neck cross-sectional geometric parameters (FNCSGPs) are under strong genetic...
