Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether vitamin D receptor(VDR) gene start codon polymorphisms and 3'-end region polymorphisms exerted a combined influence on bone mineral density(BMD) in Han postmenopausal women in Beijing area. METHODS: The VDR Fok I and 3'-end region genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 110 unrelated postmenopausal women. BMD was measured...
