Journal ArticleDOI

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

Karol Estrada, +190 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: Light is shed on the genetic architecture and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying BMD variation and fracture susceptibility and within the RANK-RANKL-OPG, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, endochondral ossification and Wnt signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of fractures in children and adolescents

TL;DR: The fracture pattern in a population of youths ≤ 19 years of age, who were seen at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, is presented, finding variations in mechanisms and activities at injury with age, and over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Hou-Feng Zheng, +174 more
- 01 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that low‐frequency non‐coding variants have large effects on BMD and fracture, thereby providing rationale for whole‐genome sequencing and improved imputation reference panels to study the genetic architecture of complex traits and disease in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Costs and quality of life associated with osteoporosis-related fractures in Sweden

TL;DR: The results indicate a higher cost and loss of quality of life related to vertebral fracture than previously perceived, and the yearly burden of osteoporosis in Sweden could be estimated at €0.5 billion (SEK 4 billion).
Journal ArticleDOI

A mutation in the nerve growth factor beta gene (NGFB) causes loss of pain perception

TL;DR: A mutation in the coding region of the nerve growth-factor beta (NGFB) gene specific for the disease haplotype seems to separate the effects of NGF involved in development of central nervous system functions such as mental abilities, from those involved in peripheral pain pathways.
