Recent studies have shown that genetic effects on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover are related to allelic variation in the vitamin D receptor O R ) gene. We examined allelic influences of the VDR gene on bone turnover and density in 202 normal healthy premenopausal Japanese women (age 30
Polymorphisms corresponding to Apa I, Bsm I, and Taq I restriction endonucleases at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and bone mineral density (BMD) at lumbar spine (L2-L4) and proximal femur (neck, Ward's triangle and trochanteric region) sites were examined in a sample of 98 Mexican women (age 55
