Polymorphisms of the WNT16 gene are associated with the heel ultrasound parameter in young adults
Abstract
Bone mineral content is influenced by genetic factors. We investigated the role of WNT16 in bone properties determined using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) on young adults. Three WNT16 genetic markers (rs2908007, rs2908004, and rs2707466) were found to have a significant association with the broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) measurement, suggesting that WNT16 influences bone mass in young adults. The aim of this study was to investigate...
