This study uses GWAS and Mendelian randomization to show that lower sclerostin levels increase risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, myocardial infarction, and atherogenic lipid profiles.

This study identifies 59 genome-wide significant loci for skull bone mineral density, including four novel loci, and links them to osteoporosis and craniofacial developmental defects.

This study identifies 15 genetic loci associated with muscle weakness in older adults through a large meta-analysis, revealing new pathways linked to aging and health outcomes.

This paper uses Mendelian Randomization to show that higher circulating sclerostin levels causally reduce bone mineral density and increase fracture risk.

This paper conducts a genome-wide meta-analysis of chronic back pain in 158,025 individuals, identifying three genetic loci associated with the condition.
