Osteoporosis is a major public health concern characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and deterioration of bone tissue, causing increased bone fragility and risk of fracture. Though current research has focused primarily on bone health in the elderly, early bone health, including peak BMD attainment, is a strong predictor of bone health later in life. Twin and family studies have demonstrated a strong genetic component in peak BMD, though the specific genes influencing variation in bone development are largely unknown. Moreover, the question of whether the genes influencing bone health during childhood are the same as those influencing bone health later in life is currently unknown. Therefore, to identify variants and genes implicat...
