Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Serum urate is associated with BMD and may be a protective factor. However, the exact association and mechanism are still unclear. We performed a genome-wide gene-environmental interaction study (GWGEIS) to explore the interaction effects between gene and urate on BMD, using data from the UK Biobank cohort. METHODS: A total of 4575 participants for femur total BMD, 4561 participants for L1-L4 BMD,...
