Identifying Osteoporosis Genes by Whole Genome Sequencing and Functional Validation in Zebra Fish

This research aims to identify potential causal-variants and their targeted genes via fine-mapping on previously reported GWAS loci of osteoporosis and identify potential targets for osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures therapy.
