“…Many previous studies have reported an association between osteoporosis and genetic variants using genome-wide association studies and candidate gene association studies. Especially, there are many reports of SNPs associated with genes predicted to be involved in osteoporosis prevalence [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. However, most genetic variants are related to inflammation [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], extracellular matrix mechanisms [ 29 , 30 ], and vitamin D metabolism [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ].…”
