Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism in men and its effect on bone density and calcium absorption.

Clinical endocrinology - 1 Jan 1997

Francis R M, Harrington F, Turner E, Papiha S S, Datta H K

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have suggested that polymorphism of the alleles of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene may account for the major part of the heritable component of bone density in women, possibly mediated in part by impaired calcium absorption from the bowel. In view of the increasing i...
