Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene do not predict quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus or hip axis length.

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus and hip axis length are independent predictors of hip fracture and have a major genetic component. Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) have been associated with variations in bone density in a number of studies. The aim of this study was to examine the role of VDR on other parameters associated with the risk of fracture. One hundred and eighty-nine pairs of...
