OsteoporosAtlas is a manually curated database for human osteoporosis-related genes. Osteoporosis is a common disorder with a strong genetic component characterized by reduced bone mass and increased risk of fragility fractures. Hundreds of osteoporosis-related genes have been identified in thousands of publications, which involve in the pathogenesis of individual cases, novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, individual treatment responses and precision medicine. Here we present a database containing 617 osteoporosis-related encoding genes, 131 microRNAs, determined by text-mining and manual curation.
