Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: It is important to identify patients at highest risk of fractures. OBJECTIVE: To compare the separate and combined performances of bone-related genetic risk scores (GRSs) for prediction of forearm, hip and vertebral fractures separately, as well as of trabecular and cortical bone microstructure parameters separately. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Using 1103 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...
