Abstract
The invention relates to kits and methods for assessing susceptibility of a human to an undesirable bone density condition, such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. The methods involve assessing occurrence in the human's genome of one or more polymorphisms (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms) that occur in one or more genes associated with bone density regulation and that are associated with a disorder (i.e., any disorder) in humans. Preferred assessment and scoring methods are disclosed, as are kits for performing the methods.
