    Estradiol is one of the main sex hormones in women, and it plays an important role in the bone health of both men and women
    .


    Several enzymes are involved in the metabolism of estradiol, but genome-wide association studies ( GWAS ) are rarely conducted to summarize the genetic promoting factors that lead to changes in estrogen levels


    GWAS


     
    Recently, a research article was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, an authoritative journal in the field of endocrine and metabolic diseases.


    The study aims to identify the gene locus that affects estradiol levels and estimate the effect of estradiol on bone mineral density (BMD).
    The influence of causality



    Researchers performed GWAS on male (N=147690) and female (N=163985) estradiol from the UK Biobank (UKB)
    .


    Estradiol is classified as a binary phenotype; above/below the detection threshold (175pmol/L)



    The importance of the body's own estrogen for maintaining bone health in men and women
