Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms, bone ultrasound and mineral density in post-menopausal women.

Aging clinical and experimental research - 1 Apr 2005

Zajickova Katerina, Zofkova Ivana, Hill Martin

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Bone structure, geometry and mineral content represent complex traits with a significant heritable component. However, the specific contributing genes have not been unambiguously identified. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to analyse an association between heel ultrasound measurements, partly reflecting bone quality, and VDR (Vitamin D receptor) gene polymorphisms in...
