Osteoporosis is a common multifactorial disorder of reduced bone mass. The disorder in its
most common form is generalized, affecting the elderly, both sexes, and all racial groups …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by
reduced bone mass, defects in the microarchitecture of bone tissue, and an increased risk of …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component. Twin studies have
shown that genetic factors play an important role in regulating bone mineral density (BMD) …

Family and twin studies have established a genetic contribution to the etiology of
osteoporosis. The genes and allelic variants conferring osteoporotic risk are largely …

We aim to give a comprehensive review, updated to 2002, of the most important and
representative molecular genetic studies, performed mainly within the past decade, that …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component. In recent years, some
progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of osteoporosis. Genetic factors …

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by fragile bones and high susceptibility to low-
trauma fractures. It is a serious health problem, especially in elderly women. Bone mineral …

Research has recently begun to clarify the genes and genetic variants that predispose to
osteoporosis and regulation of bone mass. Clinical applications of this research include the …

Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterised by low
bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue and an increased risk of fracture …

Osteoporosis is a complex human disease that results in increased susceptibility to fragility
fractures. It can be phenotypically characterized using several traits, including bone mineral …
