BACKGROUND: Turner syndrome (TS) patients usually have low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. We have previously demonstrated an association of bb (BsmI polymorphic site) and ff (FokI polymorphic site) vitamin D receptor (VDR) genotypes with reduced BMD in TS patients. AIM: To analyze the relationship between VDR-Cdx2 polymorphism and BMD as well as bone metabolic variables...
