Abstract excerpt
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and low bone mineral density (BMD), an indicator of osteoporosis (OP), appear epidemiologically associated. Shared genetic factors may explain this association. This study aimed to investigate the presence of pleiotropy to clarify the potential genetic association between RA and OP. We examined BMDs at varying skeletal sites reported in UK Biobank as well as OP fracture acquired from the...
