Background: Genetic polymorphisms are known to play a crucial role in the development of
osteoporosis. Vitamin D 3 regulates bone homeostasis through the vitamin D receptor …

Background Osteoporosis, a multifactorial disease with reduced bone mineral density which
increases the probability of bone fractures, is caused by calcium deficiency, and its …

Abstract Objective: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and bone metabolic
markers were investigated as potential genetic markers for osteoporosis in postmenopausal …

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

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has an important role as a candidate gene for the regulation
of bone mass in osteoporosis. However, its association with bone mineral density (BMD) is …

In this study, VDR gene ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs 1544410) and TaqI (rs731236)
genotypes were compared in men with osteoporosis and male controls. Osteoporosis affects …

The influence of VDR gene for the risk of osteoporosis has remained inconclusive. VDR
gene polymorphism in relation to BMD in postmenopausal women of Northwest India …

Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) are at higher risk of developing
osteoporosis. Among the genetic factors related to the development of osteoporosis, a …

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 …

Purpose There is an increased fracture risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus [DM] patients
independent of bone mineral density [BMD], both in men and women. Estrogen receptor …
