Effect of VDR polymorphisms on growth and bone mineral density in homozygous beta thalassaemia

25 Apr 2002

Abstract excerpt

We examined the effect of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms at exon 2 (FokI) and intron 8 (BsmI) on the stature and bone mineral density at femoral neck (FBMD) and lumbar spine (LBMD) in 108 prepubertal and pubertal homozygous beta thalassaemic patients, regularly treated. We found significantly shorter stature and lower LBMD and FBMD in all patients with CC VDR genotype, and significant shorter height and...
