Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased localized and generalized bone loss, but the complex genetic mechanism between them is still unknown. By leveraging large-scale genome-wide association studies summary statistics and individual-level datasets (i.e. UK Biobank), a series of genetic approaches were conducted. Linkage disequilibrium score regression reveals a shared genetic correlation between...
