Results on the relationships between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and
postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) susceptibility and bone mineral density (BMD) are …

BACKGROUND: Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been associated with increased
mortality in prospective cohort studies of the elderly, but the real relationship is still …

We have carried out melanoma case–control comparisons for six vitamin D receptor (VDR)
gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in …

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 …

The goal of the study was to investigate the possibility of an association between
polymorphisms and single alleles of Bsm I, Apa I, Taq I of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene …

The influence of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene for the risk of osteoporosis remains to be
elucidated. The aim of the present study was to understand the distribution of various single …

Abstract Vitamin D receptor (VDR) BsmI gene polymorphism has been reported to be
strongly associated with osteoporosis risk in some studies. However, the results from those …

Half of all patients with inflammatory bowel disease show a significant reduction of their
bone mass during the course of their chronic inflammatory disease. In contrast to women …

Background: Vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are important in the metabolic
processes that affect bone mineral density (BMD). However, the effect of VDR BsmI …

Objective: Fractures of bones, especially forearm fractures, are very common in children and
their number is increasing. This study was designed to determine the impact of vitamin D …
