Identification of osteoporosis genes using family studies.

Abstract excerpt

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial bone disease characterised by reduced bone mass and increased fracture risk. Family studies have made significant contribution in unravelling the genetics of osteoporosis. Yet, most of the underlying molecular and biological mechanisms remain unknown prompting the need for further studies. This review outlines the proper phenotyping and advanced genetic techniques in the form of...
