Genetic influence on bone phenotypes and body composition: a Swedish twin study.

Journal of bone and mineral metabolism - 1 Nov 2013

Wagner Helene, Melhus Håkan, Pedersen Nancy L, Michaëlsson Karl

Abstract excerpt

Bone mineral density (BMD), bone size and bone turnover are independent determinants of fractures in elderly. Earlier twin studies of these phenotypes have revealed high heritability for BMD and bone area, and more moderate heritability for bone turnover markers. No previous Scandinavian study has evaluated the genetic and environmental contribution to the variance of these phenotypes, despite the fact that...
