Polymorphism of vitamin D receptor Bsm I gene and of estrogen receptor Xba I and Pvu II gene in girls and women with low bone mass

We investigated the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the estrogen receptor (ER) genes polymorphism in studied groups was similar, however the allelic combination BBPPxx was associated with low bone mineral mass. There is a need to perform genetic test in the cohort of polish women endangered by osteopor...

Summary:We investigated the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the estrogen receptor (ER) genes polymorphism in studied groups was similar, however the allelic combination BBPPxx was associated with low bone mineral mass. There is a need to perform genetic test in the cohort of polish women endangered by osteoporosis.
