The Lancet: May 02, 2008

from Listen to The Lancet · host The Lancet

Authors of a research Article discuss in this week's podcast how two genetic variants of key biological proteins increase both the risk of osteoporosis and osteoporotic bone fractures. As these variants are present in more than one in five people, the investigators conclude that there is a potential role for screening. An accompanying Comment describes the report as an important step towards understanding the genetic basis of osteoporosis.
