Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the spinal bone density is associated with vitamin-D-receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms. The results of recent studies have been contradictory concerning the predictive power for low bone mineral density (BMD). Regional population-specific influences have been found to affect the vitamin-D-endocrinologic-system, diminishing the influence of VDR polymorphism on BMD and on bone...
