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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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