Functional Genomics of Bone Metabolism : Novel Candidate Genes Identified by Studies in Chicken Models
Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to decreased bone mineral density (BMD), an altered bone micro-architecture and fragile bones. The disease is highly heritable and numerous genes are thought to be involved, making it difficult to identify the causative genetic elements. Animal models, mainly int...
