Genetic variation in WNT16 and its association with bone mineral density, fractures and osteoporosis in children with bone fragility

Several genome-wide association studies (GWAS), GWAS meta-analyses, and mouse studies have demonstrated that wingless-related integration site 16 (WNT16) gene is associated with bone mineral density (BMD), cortical bone thickness, bone strength and fracture risk. Practically no data exist regarding...
