Abstract
Osteoporosis, fracture risk predicted with new genetic screen
Author(s): Daniel FurstA new genetic screen may predict a person's future risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture, according to a study by a researcher at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Specifically, the study, one of the largest of its kind, identified 899 regions in the human genome associated with low bone-mineral density, 613 of which have never before been identified.
