Dataset phenotypes
- Total hip area
- Femoral neck area
- Trochanter area
- Intertrochanteric-shaft area
- Lumbar spine area
Experiment summary
This study analyzed genetic associations with bone area, as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, for the hip, its sub-regions femoral neck, trochanter, and intertrochanteric/shaft, and for the lumbar spine.
