Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is highly polygenic and heritable, with heritability ranging from 50 to 80%; most inherited susceptibility is associated with the cumulative effect of many common genetic variants. However, existing genetic risk scores (GRS) only provide a few percent predictive power for osteoporotic fracture. METHODS: We derived and validated a novel genome-wide polygenic score (GPS) comprised of...
