An Atlas of Human and Murine Genetic Influences on Osteoporosis

2018-06-11

Abstract excerpt

Osteoporosis is a common debilitating chronic disease diagnosed primarily using bone mineral density (BMD). We undertook a comprehensive assessment of human genetic determinants of bone density in 426,824 individuals, identifying a total of 518 genome-wide significant loci, (301 novel), explaining 20% of the total variance in BMD—as estimated by heel quantitative ultrasound (eBMD). Next, meta-analysis identified 1...
