<h4>Background</h4> Inhibition of sclerostin is a novel therapeutic approach to lowering fracture risk. However, phase III randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of romosozumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits sclerostin, suggest an imbalance of serious cardiovascular events. <h4>Methods</h4> We used two independent genetic variants (rs7209826 and rs188810925) in SOST (encoding sclerostin) associated with bone...
