  ABSTRACT: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition where adjacent vertebrae become fused through formation of osteophytes. The genetic and epidemiological etiology of this condition is not well understood. Here, we implemented a machine learning algorithm to assess the prevalence and severity of the pathology in ~40,000 lateral DXA scans in the UK Biobank Imaging cohort. We find that DISH is highly prevalent, above the age of 45, ~20% of men and ~8% of women having multiple osteophytes. Surprisingly, we find strong phenotypic and genetic association of DISH with increased bone mineral density and content throughout the entire skeletal system. Genetic association analysis identified ten loci associated with DISH, including multiple genes involved in bone remodeling (RU
