A genetic correlation scan identifies blood proteins associated with bone mineral density

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Osteoporosis is a common metabolic bone disease that is characterized by low bone mass. However, limited efforts have been made to explore the functional relevance of the blood proteome to bone mineral density across different life stages ...

Adjusting bone mass for differences in projected bone area and other confounding variables: an allometric perspective. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The traditional method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD; given by bone mineral content [BMC] divided by projected bone area [Ap], BMD = BMC/Ap) has come under strong criticism by various authors. Their criticism being that the projected bone "area"

Anthropometric models of bone mineral content and areal bone mineral density based on the bone mineral density in childhood study [PDF]

open access: yesOsteoporosis International, 2014
New models describing anthropometrically adjusted normal values of bone mineral density and content in children have been created for the various measurement sites. The inclusion of multiple explanatory variables in the models provides the opportunity to calculate Z-scores that are adjusted with respect to the relevant anthropometric parameters ...

Polymorphisms in genes involved in the NF-κB signalling pathway are associated with bone mineral density, geometry and turnover in men [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
<p><b>Introduction:</b> In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within two genes involved in the NF-kappa B cascade (GPR177 and MAP3K14) and bone mineral density (BMD ...

Causal association of epigenetic aging and osteoporosis: a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2023
Background The relationship between aging and osteoporosis is well established. However, the relationship between the body's physiological age, i.e. epigenetic age, and osteoporosis is not known.

Prediction of bone mineral density in CT using deep learning with explainability

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Bone mineral density (BMD) is a key feature in diagnosing bone diseases. Although computational tomography (CT) is a common imaging modality, it seldom provides bone mineral density information in a clinic owing to technical difficulties.

The ESR1 (6q25) locus is associated with calcaneal ultrasound parameters and radial volumetric bone mineral density in European men [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
<p><b>Purpose:</b> Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 6q25, which incorporates the oestrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1), as a quantitative trait locus for areal bone mineral density (BMD(a)) of the hip and lumbar ...
