Objective Fracture is the major clinical outcome of osteoporosis. The vitamin D receptor
(VDR) gene is thought to be a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Many genetic studies have …

Background: Several studies have examined the association between vitamin D receptor
(VDR) polymorphisms and osteoporotic fracture risk; however, the results are not uniform …

INTRODUCTION: Fracture is the major clinical outcome of osteoporosis. The vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene is thought to be a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Many genetic …

CONTEXT: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been strongly associated
with bone mineral density in some studies. However, in a recent meta-analysis, no …

Background Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones in which the density of the bones
decreases. The prevalence of this disease greatly varies in different populations of the …

The objective of this study was to identify, through a systematic review of the literature,
Vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms related to osteoporosis and their effects on …

Objective This study aimed to quantitatively summarize the evidence for vitamin D receptor
(VDR) FokI gene polymorphism and osteoporosis risk in Caucasian and Asian …

A meta‐analysis regarding BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene and their associations with osteoporosis in females is reported. The …

Objective: The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for VDR FokI
gene polymorphism and osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women. Materials and …

Context: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease with a strong genetic component. Vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms explain only a small part of the genetic influence on the …
