Abstract excerpt

Peak bone mass is considered a major determinant in the emergence of osteoporosis and is mainly genetically regulated. Several genes have been investigated, among them the vitamin D receptor ( VDR) gene. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (defined by the endonuclease FokI) located in the start codon of the VDR creates the alleles F and f, resulting in different proteins. A number of previous studies have proved the...
