Recent genetic discoveries in osteoporosis, sarcopenia and obesity [Review]

Abstract: Abstract. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased susceptibility to fractures. Evidence from genetic studies indicates that BMD, a complex quantitative trait with a normal distribution, is genetically controlled. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) as well as studies using candidate gene approaches have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with BMD, osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. These SNPs have been mapp… Show more

[58][59][60] It appears that sarcopenia is always responsive to resistance exercise.…”

“…A continuous distribution of the trait and data obtained from 55 animal models 5-7 indicates a polygenic causality. However, thus far, genome-wide association 56 studies (GWAS) have implicated fewer than a dozen genes, explaining a small fraction of this 57 heritability 8; 9 . Limited sample size in early studies 10-14 and the effects of confounders such as 58 subject age 8 , size of the skeleton and lean mass components (non-fat organs and tissues, 59 heterogeneity of muscle fibers) have hindered detection of genes.…”
