Abstract excerpt
The association between polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and bone mineral density (BMD) has been studied by many investigators. However, the question of how polymorphisms in the gene modulate the function of the VDR remains to be answered. To address this issue, we examined the mRNA levels of the VDR in relation to polymorphisms. First, we compared the levels of mRNA between the allele with the...
