- Abstract
The article reports on the results of research which was conducted in an effort to study the genetic factors which influence areal bone mineral density and areal bone size. Researchers conducted whole genome linkage analyses and found that quantitative trait loci at 12p11 and 17q21 may have pleiotropic effects on areal bone mineral density and areal bone size.
