Genetic Impact on Bone Modulation—A Review Bridging Bioscience to Genetic Engineering
Genes control approximately 60% to 75% of the variance of peak bone mass/density and a much smaller amount of variance in rate of loss. Bone mass increases during growth to a peak value and soon after begins to decline. Most of the genetic effect is exerted during growth and so influences peak bone...
