Osteoporosis is a complex bone disorder with a strong genetic basis. The genetics of osteoporosis encompasses two main areas: genetics of disease susceptibility and pharmacogenetics of drug response. The former has been widely studied in the past few decades, while the latter is still largely untouched. This review will provide an overview of the pharmacogenetics of osteoporosis, focusing on the major recent advances in the past two years.
骨质疏松症是一种具有强大遗传基础的复杂骨骼疾病。骨质疏松症的遗传学涵盖两个主要领域:疾病易感性遗传学和药物反应药物遗传学。前者在过去几十年中已得到广泛研究,而后者在很大程度上仍未被触及。本综述将概述骨质疏松症的药物遗传学,重点关注过去两年中的主要最新进展。
