Abstract excerpt
Bone mass and bone turnover are under genetic control. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene locus have been recently correlated to bone mineral density (BMD) and rate of bone loss. However, agreement on this relationship is not universal. The exis...
