UKBB eBMD GWAS Data Release 2017
The GEnetic Factors for OSteoporosis (GEFOS) Consortium is a large international collaboration comprising numerous research groups. Osteoporosis is a common age-related complex disease with a strong genetic component. The UK Biobank is a health resource from the United Kingdom that has genetic data and phenotype measurements in 500,000 individuals, representative of the general population. We analyzed the first batch of genetic data, including genotyping and imputed data on approximately 150,000 participants. We performed a genome-wide association study on bone mineral density estimated from quantitative heel ultrasounds (eBMD).
Release
This release comprises the summary data from our 2017 GWAS of eBMD in the first batch of genetic data from the UK Biobank. Analyses were performed based on the UK10K/1000G combined imputation panel (hg19) including ~17,000,000 SNPs with MAF≥0.001 and acceptable imputation quality.
