How does the study of inherited characters help us understand the risk of disease.

Studying hereditary traits helps identify genetic factors influencing bone density, muscle mass, and fracture risk. Genetics play a key role in conditions like osteoporosis and sarcopenia, affecting bone strength, spinal alignment, and physical function. Understanding these factors allows for personalized prevention and treatment strategies, improving musculoskeletal health and reducing the risk of fractures and mobility issues.

What causes bones to break and how does it happen.

Bones break due to factors like weakened structure, trauma, or medical conditions such as osteoporosis. Translational Genomics enhances healthcare by integrating genetic research into clinical practice. Our group identifies biomarkers to prevent osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and frailty, promoting healthy aging and improving long-term health outcomes.
