Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The VDR is a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Here we studied five common polymorphisms of VDR in relation to calcium intake and vitamin D status in a population-based cohort of 3100 British women, but found no significant association with bone mass, bone loss, or fracture. INTRODUCTION: Population studies of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have produced conflicting results. We performed a...
