Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Osteoporosis is a common global health problem characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fracture. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >100 genetic loci associated with BMD. However, the functional genes responsible for most associations remain largely unknown. We conducted an innovative summary statistic data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis to...
