Abstract excerpt

Previous studies have suggested that variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to bone mineral density (BMD). In this study, the T-->C transition in the start codon and the G-->A polymorphism at the 3' end of the VDR gene, identified by endonucleases FokI and BsmI, respectively, were analysed and correlated with BMD in postmenopausal Maltese women ( n=104). Genotype frequencies observed for the...
