Deskripsi

GWAS have identified numerous genetic loci for bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. Here, the authors map these variants to putative target genes using ATAC-seq and Capture C of human osteoblasts and confirm ING3 and EPDR1 as BMD genes in in vitro osteoblast differentiation experiments.
