We conducted a study to determine whether a recently described restriction fragment length polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR-RFLP) predicts bone mineral density (BMD) in unrelated, premenopausal women as well as to determine the racial contribution to any genotypic influences on BMD. White (n = 83) and black (n = 72) women between 20 and 40 years of age were genotyped based on the presence (b) or...
