## Abstract Conflicting results have been reported on the association between restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene locus (i.e., for __Bsm__I, __Apa__I, and __Taq__I) and bone mineral density (BMD). We analyzed this association in a large populationβ

We examined the association of bone mineral density (BMD) with a polymorphism in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor (VOR) that causes a change in the predicted protein sequence. The polymorphism results from a C-to-T transition and creates an initiation codon (ATG) three codons proximal to a d
Vitamin D receptor (VOR) 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 inftuence of specific study characteristics (e.g.,
