FokI and BsmI polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene and bone mineral density in a random Bulgarian population sample.

Endocrine - 1 Jun 2006

Abstract excerpt

Numerous studies on vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms differ with conflicting data in various populations. We studied the association of FokI and BsmI polymorphisms in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor with bone mineral density (BMD) in 219 persons of Bulgarian nationality. The calculated relative risk (RR) for low bone mineral density is higher for FokI marker (3.14) compared to BsmI marker...
