Assessment of gene-by-sex interaction effect on bone mineral density
(2012)Sexual dimorphism in various bone phenotypes, including bone mineral density (BMD), is widely observed; however, the extent to which genes explain these sex differences is unclear. To identify variants with different effects ... -
Gene receptor polymorphism as a risk factor for BMD deterioration in adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa
(2013)Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder that is associated with decreased bone mineral density and greater lifetime risk for fractures. This case-controlled study, analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms of genes ... -
Meta-analysis of genome-wide scans provides evidence for sex- and site-specific regulation of bone mass
(2007)Introduction: BMD is a heritable trait and an important predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk. Several genome-wide scans have been performed in an attempt to detect loci that regulate BMD, but there has been limited ...
