Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Osteoporosis is associated with metabolic alterations, but the causal roles of serum metabolites on osteoporosis have not been identified. Methods: Based on the large individual-level datasets from UK Biobank as well as GWAS summary datasets, we first constructed genetic risk scores (GRSs) for 308 of 486 human serum metabolites and evaluated the effect of each GRS on 2 major osteoporosis phenotypes,...
