[The results obtained until now can be divided into three sections: (1) genetic analysis of bone mass/size/geometry characteristics (OP) and traits related to hand OA; (2) pedigree-based investigation of circulating levels of calciotropic hormones, growth factors, cytokines, and biochemical indices of bone and cartilage remodelling; (3) linkage and linkage disequilibrium study of several candidate genes, such as estrogen receptor alpha, collagen type I alpha 1, genes related to extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate transport and OP/OA phenotypes, including biochemical variables.].
