Bone mineral density in relation to polymorphism at the vitamin D receptor gene locus.

The Journal of clinical investigation - 1 Nov 1994

Hustmyer F G, Peacock M, Hui S, Johnston C C, Christian J

Abstract excerpt

Polymorphism at the vitamin D receptor gene was examined in relation to bone mineral density (BMD) at spine, femur, and forearm in 86 monozygotic (MZ) and 39 dizygotic (DZ) adult female twins. All were white, 63 pairs (44 MZ, 19 DZ) were premenopausal, and 43 pairs (31 MZ, 12 DZ) were discordant...
