Genetic studies in osteoporosis – the end of the beginning (2008)
Duncan, Emma L, Brown, Matthew A
Abstract Osteoporosis and disorders of bone fragility are highly heritable, but despite much effort the identities of few of the genes involved has been established. Recent developments in genetics...
PTHR1 polymorphisms influence BMD variation through effects on the growing skeleton (2007)
Vilarino-Guell, Carles, Miles, Lisa J., Duncan, Emma L., Ralston, Stuart H., Compston, Juliet E., Cooper, Cyrus, ...
We investigated whether polymorphisms in PTHR1 are associated with bone mineral density (BMD), to determine whether the association of this gene with BMD was due to effects on attainment of peak bone...
Influence of LRP5 polymorphisms on normal variation in BMD (2004)
Koay, M. Audrey, Woon, Peng Y., Zhang, Yun, Miles, Lisa J., Duncan, Emma L., Ralston, Stuart H., ...
Genetic studies based on cohorts with rare and extreme bone phenotypes have shown that the LRP5 gene is an important genetic modulator of BMD. Using family-based and case-control approaches, this...
