Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was to examine the association between total body bone mineral density (BMD) and periodontitis using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We used 81 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with BMD at a p-value of < 5 × 10-8 from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 66,628 individuals of European descent. The GWAS for periodontitis was...
