Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: This study is to estimate the degree of genetic contribution of Fok-I gene polymorphism of Vitamin D receptor to bone mass in patients with thalassaemia. Results indicate a protective role of the f allele of the Fok-I gene polymorphism when found in homozygosity on bone mineral density of young thalassemic patients. INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to estimate prospectively the degree of...
