Abstract excerpt

SUMMARY: The influence of VDR gene for the risk of osteoporosis has remained inconclusive. VDR gene polymorphism in relation to BMD in postmenopausal women of Northwest India revealed a susceptibility haplotype AGT. Possession of this haplotype exacerbates the risk of osteoporosis by 2.8 times, which manifests in recessive mode of inheritance. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to understand the influence of...
