GWAS of ∼30,000 samples with bone mineral density at multiple skeletal sites and its clinical relevance on fracture prediction, genetic correlations and prioritization of drug targets
2024-01-20
Abstract excerpt
We conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived bone mineral density (BMD) traits at 11 skeletal sites, within over 30,000 European individuals from the UK Biobank. A total of 92 unique and independent loci were identified for 11 DXA-derived BMD traits and fracture, including five novel loci (harboring genes such as ABCA1 , CHSY1 , CYP24A1 , SWAP70 , and PAX1 )...
