About this trial
Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease in which genetic predispositions play a key role in its development. A better understanding of family history and clinical manifestations among first- and second-degree relatives can help improve early detection and personalized care for at-risk patients. To this end, we will test a self-administered questionnaire previously developed by our research team. This questionnaire includes the main manifestations associated with rare genetic bone diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphatasia, and osteopetrosis.
