Editorial: Recent Advances in the Genetics of Osteoporosis

The last few years have seen considerable advances in our understanding of the genetic factors influencing osteoporosis, driven by a range of break-throughs. The seven papers comprising this Research Topic together provide a timely update, describing new insights into the genetic architecture of osteoporosis, application of genetic findings to study causal inference, and stateof-the-art approaches to functional genomics, paving the road for multi-omic applications.
