Genetic variants affecting bone mineral density and bone mineral content at multiple skeletal sites in Hispanic children

Osteoporosis is a major public health burden with significant economic costs. However, the correlates of bone health in Hispanic children are understudied.We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) at multiple skeletal sites in Hispanic children.We conducted a cross-sectional genome-wide linkage analysis, genome-wide and exome-wide association analysis of BMD and BMC. The Viva...
