摘 要:Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease,affecting-200 million people around the *** a complex disease,osteoporosis is influenced by many factors,including diet(*** and protein intake),physical activity,endocrine status,coexisting diseases and genetic *** this review,we first summarize the discovery from genome-wide association studies(GWASs)in the bone field in the last 12 *** date,GWASs and meta-analyses have discovered hundreds of loci that are associated with bone mineral density(BMD),osteoporosis,and osteoporotic ***,the GWAS approach has sometimes been criticized because of the small effect size of the discovered variants and the mystery of missing heritability,these two questions could be partially explained by the newly raised conceptual models,such as omnigenic model and natural ***,we introduce the clinical use of GWAS findings in the bone field,such as the identification of causal clinical risk factors,the development of drug targets and disease *** the fruitful GWAS discoveries in the bone field,most of these GWAS participants were of European descent,and more genetic studies should be carried out in other ethnic populations to benefit disease prediction in the corresponding population.
