[Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and risk of hip fracture in Chilean elderly women].

Revista medica de Chile - 1 Apr 2008

Quevedo L Iván, Martínez B Milka, Castillo N Marcelo, Rivera F Nancy

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Osteoporotic hip fractures are devastating events in older women. There is a genetic modulation of bone phenotypic parameters including bone density (BMD) and bone fragility fractures. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms explain a small part of the genetic influence on BMD, whereas their effect on fractures remains uncertain. AIM: To examine the contributions of VDR genotypes to the...
