To identify genetic variants influencing bone mineral density (BMD) in the Mexican-Mestizo population, we performed a GWAS for femoral neck (FN) and lumbar spine (LS) in Mexican-Mestizo postmenopausal women. In the discovery sample, 300,000 SNPs were genotyped in a cohort of 411 postmenopausal women and seven SNPs were analyzed in the replication cohort (<i>n</i> = 420). The combined results of a meta-analysis from the discovery and replication samples identified two loci, <i>RMND1</i> (rs690436 ...[more]
