Integrative Analysis of Genomics and Transcriptome Data to Identify Potential Functional Genes of BMDs in Females
8 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Osteoporosis is known to be highly heritable. However, to date, the findings from more than 20 genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have explained less than 6% of genetic risks. Studies suggest that the missing heritability data may be because of joint effects among genes. To identify novel heritability for osteoporosis, we performed a system-level study on bone mineral density (BMD) by weighted gene...
