Abstract excerpt

Osteoporosis is a very common disease that concerns every forth postmenopausal white woman. The loss of bone density leads to fractures, mainly to fractures of the neck of the femur. A hereditary genesis of the idiopathic osteoporosis seems to be sure. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) has an important role for the mineralisation of the bones. His allelic variants can be used for a prediction of bone density. These...
