T
he identification of genes that can cause osteoporosis and breast cancer progresses slowly, came to explain François Rousseau, a professor at Laval University and scientific director, molecular genetics at the company SignalGene, at the third annual symposium on Variation Human Genetics, which took place in Philadelphia in October.It is known that genetic factors account for 80% of the risk of osteoporosis in women, but the challenge remains the identification of these genes.
Dr. Rousseau was able to identify two genetic variations responsible for increasing bone loss and response qu'auront patients with hormone replacement. We will know more in a few months, when more complete results will be published.
