Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the region of the gene for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) (chromosome 12q12-14) have been associated with differences in bone mineral density (BMD) in some studies but not in others. Because linkage analysis assesses allele sharing identical-by-descent among relatives instead of th...
