Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Osteoporotic fracture risk is highly heritable, but genome-wide association studies have explained only a small proportion of the heritability to date. Genetic data may improve prediction of fracture risk in osteopenic subjects and assist early intervention and management. OBJECTIVE: To detect common and rare variants in coding and regulatory regions related to osteoporosis-related traits, and to...
