A number of previous investigations showed significant associations between polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is influenced by hormones and the rate of skeletal remodeling. A study was performed to investigate the possible relationship between Apa I, Bsm I, Taq I, and Fok I polymorphisms of the VDR gene and serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D),...
