§ aBMDZ-scorebelow-2.0and/or§ a history of increased bone fragility (at least three
peripheral fractures and/or one or more vertebralcompressionfractures)
§ exclusionofsecondaryosteoporosisand§ age below 30 years before the diagnosis of

IntroductionEarly-onsetosteoporosispresentsasboneweaknessandincreased risk of fractures in children and young adults.Thegeneticcausesandmolecularmechanismsunderlyingthis disease are poorly defined. However, the study ofother rare bone diseases has recently led to theidentificationofnewgenescausingosteoporosis.
AimoftheprojectTo explore the role of variations in the cartilage-associated protein (CRTAP) gene in early-onsetosteoporosisand/orrecurrentfractures.
Conclusions
Table 1 Genetic variants identified in the CRTAP gene. The minor allelefrequencies(MAFs)werecomparabletohealthypopulation(p>0.05)
