Journal ArticleDOI

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

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

Trabecular bone score: a noninvasive analytical method based upon the DXA image.

TL;DR: The trabecular bone score (TBS) as discussed by the authors is a gray-level textural metric that can be extracted from the two-dimensional lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) image.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bone microarchitecture assessed by TBS predicts osteoporotic fractures independent of bone density: the Manitoba study.

TL;DR: Combining the TBS trabecular texture index with BMD incrementally improves fracture prediction in postmenopausal women.
