Abstract excerpt
Sarcopenia is a common age-associated condition characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical functionality. While large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have previously addressed isolated traits of sarcopenia, the multifactorial genetic architecture underlying this condition remains largely undefined. To characterize the common genetic basis of...
