Abstract excerpt

Peak bone mass is considered to be under strong genetic control. We studied the association among anthropometry, bone density and vitamin D receptor (VDR) genotype in an ethnically homogeneous group of 148 Caucasian children and young adults. Bone density was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and VDR genotype was determined by a direct haplotyping procedure of the BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI restriction...
