Vitamin D Receptor Alleles, Bone Mineral Density and Turnover in Postmenopausal Osteoporotic and Healthy Women

Abstract

Our data showed an association between VDR TaqI genotype and BMD at the FN, L1-4, trochanter and Ward's triangle in nonobese postmenopausal osteoporotic women. Thus the VDR gene Taql polymorphism modulates differences in BMD in the postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
