Vitamin D-receptor gene polymorphisms and bone density in prepubertal American girls of Mexican descent.

The New England journal of medicine - 10 Jul 1997

Sainz J, Van Tornout J M, Loro M L, Sayre J, Roe T F, Gilsanz V

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bone mass is under strong genetic control, and recent studies in adults have suggested that allelic differences in the gene for the vitamin D receptor may account for inherited variability in bone mass. We studied the relations of the vitamin D-receptor genotype to skeletal developmen...
