Are vitamin D receptor polymorphisms associated with bone mineral density? A meta-analysis.

Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research - 1 Dec 1996

Cooper G S, Umbach D M

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been strongly associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in some studies but not in others. We used a meta-analytic approach to assess quantitatively the association between VDR and BMD and to examine the influence of specific study characteristics (e.g., skeletal site, mean age of subjects, menopausal status) on the reported results. Sixteen papers published in...
