To determine whether a polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor O R ) gene, already associated with osteoporosis, might also relate to the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. A population cohort of 351 postmenopausal women (ages 45-64 years) was studied using anteroposterior radiographs of the knee

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
