Abstract excerpt
The genetic architecture underlying traits related to Human Musculoskeletal System Aging (MSA) remains largely unexplored. In this study, we conducted a large-scale multivariate genome-wide association study (GWAS) of MSA utilizing Genomic Structural Equation Modeling (Genomic SEM). We estimated causal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with independent variation and identified 14 genome-wide...
