Primary Osteoporosis in Young Adults: Genetic Basis and Identification of Novel Variants in Causal Genes

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Genetic determinants contribute to osteoporosis and enhance the risk of fracture. Genomewide association studies of unselected population‐based individuals or families have identified polymorphisms in several genes related to low bone density, but not in osteoporotic patients with Z‐score < −2.0 SD with fragility fracture(s). The aim of this study was to determine the causal genes of idiopathic...
