Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common disease with strong genetic control. Genetic linkage and association studies are the two most popular methods used to investigate the genetic basis of osteoporosis. Linkage studies have been successfully used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and association studies have been widely performed to test candidate genes for osteoporosis. In this article, we review the design and interpretation of linkage and association studies on osteoporosis.
