Validation of a genome-wide polygenic score in improving fracture risk assessment beyond the FRAX tool in the Women's Health Initiative study.
Xiangxue XiaoQing WuPublished in: PloS one (2023)
The findings suggested that incorporating genetic information into the FRAX tool has minimal improvement in predicting HF risk for elderly Caucasian women. These results highlight the need for further research to identify other factors that may contribute to fracture risk in elderly Caucasian women.
