Abstract excerpt
The genetic bases of peak bone mass determinants are still poorly understood, particularly in males. We investigated the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) 3'- and 5'-gene polymorphisms (as determined by the restriction enzymes BsmI and FokI) and bone mineral mass, and calcium and inorganic phosphate (Pi) metabolism in an homogeneous cohort of young healthy men. In 104 healthy subjects, aged 24.3 +/-...
