Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene using ultrasound (US) bone mass and bone metabolic markers were investigated as potential genetic markers for osteoporosis in 126 premenopausal Japanese women aged 27.2 +/- 10.1 (mean +/- SD) years. The relationship between their VDR gene polymorphisms and bone states was determined. VDR genotypes were based on the absence (B) or presence (b) of the Bsm I...
