Published in Women's Health Weekly, April 28th, 2011
2011 APR 28 -- A new study, 'Refined QTLs of osteoporosis-related traits by linkage analysis with genome-wide SNPs: Framingham SHARe,' is now available. According to recent research from Boston, United States, "Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using high-density array of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) offer an unbiased strategy to identify new candidate genes for osteoporosis. We used a subset of autosomal SNPs from the Affymetrix 500K+50K SNP GeneChip marker set to examine genetic linkage with multiple highly heritable osteoporosis-related traits, including BMD of the hip and spine, heel ultrasound (attenuation and speed of sound), and geometric indices of the...
