Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 56 bone mineral density loci and reveals 14 loci associated with risk of fracture

…, J Eriksson, CM Kammerer, SK Kaptoge, PJ Leo… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
Bone mineral density (BMD) is the most widely used predictor of fracture risk. We performed
the largest meta-analysis to date on lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD, including 17 …

Whole‐genome sequencing identifies EN1 as a determinant of bone density and fracture

We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with cortical bone thickness (CBT) and
bone mineral density (BMD) by performing two separate genome-wide association study (GWAS…

[HTML][HTML] Major histocompatibility complex associations of ankylosing spondylitis are complex and involve further epistasis with ERAP1

A Cortes, SL Pulit, PJ Leo, JJ Pointon… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common, highly heritable, inflammatory arthritis for which
