Genetic determinants of bone mineral content in prematurely born children at 3 months and 9–11 years of age were studied. The findings suggest that multiple genes are involved in the regulation of site specific bone mass accumulation during childhood.

  • bone mineral status
  • collagen
  • insulin-like growth factor I
