ABSTRACT Background: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is regarded as one of the
candidate genes for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) susceptibility and of some genetic factors …

Previous studies have suggested an influence of vitamin D receptor alleles on bone
metabolism and on susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus in different ethnic populations …

Type 1 diabetic individuals are known to develop disorders of bone metabolism resulting in
osteopenia. Previous studies have suggested an influence of vitamin D receptor alleles on …

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 …

Objective To explore the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphisms and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus …

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 …

Purpose This study aims to analyze the association between VDR gene polymorphism and
the occurrence of “low bone density (LBD)/osteopenia/osteoporosis” or LBDOO in type 2 …

The influence of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the risk of fractures especially
osteoporotic fractures remain to be elucidated in Egyptian adult male population. Therefore …

Osteoporosis is one of the most important medical problems facing the aging population. It is
defined as a decrease in the bone mass leading to an unacceptably high risk of fractures …

Reported associations between vitamin D receptor [‎ VDR]‎ polymorphism and type 1
diabetes mellitus vary across ethnic groups. We studied the association between type 1 …
