Common genetic variants are associated with accelerated bone mineral density loss after hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Common genetic variants are associated with accelerated bone mineral density loss after hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Bone mineral density (BMD) loss commonly occurs after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Hypothesizing that genetic variants may influence post-HCT BMD loss, we conducted a prospective study to examine the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in bone metabolism pathways and a...
