Conditional testing of multiple variants associated with bone mineral density in the FLNB gene region suggests that they represent a single association signal

BACKGROUND: Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a primary risk factor for osteoporosis and is a highly heritable trait, but appears to be influenced by many genes. Genome-wide linkage studies have highlighted the chromosomal region 3p14-p22 as a quantitative trait locus for BMD (LOD 1.1 - 3.5). The FL...
