## Abstract Although it is widely accepted that genes contribute significantly to the variation in bone mineral density (BMD), the nature of the genetic contribution is poorly defined. There are large gender differences in BMD, although whether sex‐specific genetic effects influencing variation in

## Abstract Bone mineral density (BMD) is a measure of a person's skeletal mineral content, and assessing BMD by dual x‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA) can help to diagnose diseases of low bone density. In this study, we determine the heritability of BMD in male and female monozygotic twin subjects using
