Abstract excerpt
We examined genetic associations of previously identified sequence variants with bone mineral density and their heterogeneity by gender. Large-scale cohort data were used including a total of 8,419 subjects (4,034 males and 4,385 females) from the Korean Association REsource (KARE) cohort. Bone speed of sound (SOS) values were measured at distal radius or mid-shaft tibia by quantitative ultrasound. Genotypic...
