Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Adult stature is a complex genetic trait. The vitamin D endocrine system has pleiotropic effects on several physiological processes, especially on skeletal metabolism. We recently identified promoter and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) haplotype alleles that influence vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA expression. OBJECTIVE: We studied whether VDR gene variants contribute to the genetic variation in height....
