[Role of genetics in prediction of osteoporosis risk].

Abstract excerpt

Osteoporosis is in 60-80% a hereditary disease with a characteristic multifactorial pathogenesis during which the effects of many "weak" genes interact with external factors. To date, most information relating to the correlations between genes and bone parameter variability (density, quality and metabolism) has been provided by association studies of candidate genes for osteoporosis. The best known genes related...
