Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism, bone mass, body size, and vitamin D receptor density.

Calcified tissue international - 1 Aug 1995

Abstract excerpt

We determined vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene alleles (based on the BsmI restriction site polymorphism), duodenal mucosal receptor density, bone mass at spine and total body, and body size in 32 healthy premenopausal females. While we found no relationship between allele and receptor density in duodenal mucosa, bone mineral content (BMC) at both spine and total body was significantly associated with VDR gene...
