Systems genetics and bioinformatics analyses using ESR1-correlated genes identify potential candidates underlying female bone development

Abstract excerpt

Estrogen receptor α (ESR1) is involved in E2 signaling and plays a major role in postmenopausal bone loss. However, the molecular network underlying ESR1 has not been explored. We used systems genetics and bioinformatics to identify important genes associated with Esr1 in postmenopausal bone loss. We identified ~2300 Esr1-coexpressed genes in female BXD bone femur, functional analysis of which revealed...
