Influence of age and gender on spine bone density and TBS microarchitectural texture parameters in infants

Winzenrieth Renaud , Cormier Catherine , DiGregorio Silvana , Rio Luis Del

Children bone knowledge is relatively sparse. This is especially true for infant and for bone microarchitecture data. We have investigated, in this study, the age-related modifications of spine microarchitectural texture, as assessed by TBS, on male and female infants during their two first years of life.The study group was composed of 143 and 109 healthy female and male infants aged between 0 and 2 years. Height and weight Z-scores were signifi...

The role of the WNT pathway in skeletal maintenance has been extensively studied since the identification of mutations in key signaling WNT mediators (LRP5 and sclerostin) in high and low bone mass phenotypes. However, the identity of the key WNT ligand that signals via LRP5/6 has remained unknown. We aimed to identify genes with a major effect on the skeleton by studying individuals and families with early-onset osteoporosis or osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).<p class="abste...
