Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relation of bone mineral density (BMD) to inherited polymorphisms within the gene coding for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in postmenopausal women. METHODS: DNA samples from 163 post-menopausal women and from 112 controls were genotyped for common allelic determinants within the VDR gene as defined by the restriction enzyme sites for BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI. BMD was evaluated at the lumbar...
