Genetic factors influencing bone mineral content in a black South African population.

Journal of bone and mineral metabolism - 1 Nov 2013

May Andrew, Pettifor John M, Norris Shane A, Ramsay Michèle, Lombard Zané

Abstract excerpt

Bone mass differs according to ethnic classification, with individuals of African ancestry attaining the highest measurements across numerous skeletal sites. Elevated bone mass is even maintained in those individuals exposed to adverse environmental factors, suggesting a prominent genetic effect that may have clinical or therapeutic value. Using a candidate gene approach, we investigated associations of six...
