OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution frequencies of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphisms in Chinese and the relationship between VDR genotypes and bone mineral …

Abstract Introduction: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is encoded by the VDR gene. Several
studies have supported that this gene is associated with diabetes. Heterodimer VDR/RXR …

Bone remodeling is marked by bone synthesis and absorption balance, and any altered
dynamic in this process leads to osteoporosis (OP). The interaction of hormonal …

OBJECTIVES: Osteoporosis is a common condition in postmenopausal women. Bone
mineral density (BMD), the major determinant of osteoporotic fracture risk, has a particular …

Background Diabetes mellitus is a condition with a defect in insulin secretion and insulin
function. Some of the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms related to increasing the …

A Cdx‐2 binding site polymorphism (G to A) in the promoter region of the human vitamin D
receptor gene was reported. In an ecological study in eight ethnic groups and an association …

Bone mineral density (BMD), the major determinant of fracture risk, is under strong genetic
control. Although polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been …

This study examined the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and the
rs7975232 (ApaI) polymorphism of the vitamin receptor D (VDR) gene. The polymorphism …

Objectives Approx 1 billion people across various ethnic and age groups have vitamin D
deficiency. The high prevalence of such a deficiency is an imperative public health issue …

The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between Cdx-2 polymorphism
in the promoter region of the VDR gene and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) levels …
