Spine bone mineral density and VDR polymorphism in subjects with ulcerative colitis.

Abstract excerpt

This study established bone mineral density in subjects with ulcerative colitis with respect to disease dissemination and severity and the association between skeletal status and vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism. Forty-seven patients aged 47.6 +/- 14.8 years and 47 age- and sex-matched control subjects were evaluated. Disease duration was 8.6 +/- 7.2 years. Twenty-four subjects demonstrated mild, 17...
