Collagen Ialpha1 and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in South African whites, blacks and Indians.

East African medical journal - 1 Nov 2001

Ojwang P J, Pegoraro R J, Rom L, Lanning P

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether polymorphic differences exist between black, white and Indian South Africans in genes associated with bone mineral density and osteoporosis. DESIGN: Genes selected were the vitamin D receptor (Apa I and Taq I polymorphisms) and collagen (Sp I transcription factor polymorphism) using standard molecular biology techniques. SETTING: Department of Chemical Pathology, Nelson R Mandela...
