    Bone area is one measure of bone size that is easily derived from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans. In a GWA study of DXA bone area of the hip and lumbar spine (N ≥ 28,954), we find thirteen independent association signals at twelve loci ...

    Identification of multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma 
    Gudbjartsson, Daniel; Thorsteinsdottir, Unnur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-09-13)
    Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. We report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis with previous GWAS and a replication series, ...
