Analysis of candidate genes within the 3p14-p22 region of the human genome for association with bone mineral density phenotypes

Analysis of candidate genes within the 3p14-p22 region of the human genome for association with bone mineral density phenotypes

Previous studies have identified the 3p14-p22 chromosomal region as a quantitative trait locus for bone mineral density (BMD). The overall aim of this thesis is to identify the gene or genes from this region that are responsible for the linkage observed. The studies described within are centred on t...
