Association between the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and osteoporosis.
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-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the VDR gene and its association with the risk of osteoporosis. In total, 378 subjects without a genetic relationship were recruited to the study between January 2013 and...
متن کاملPrevalence of osteoporosis and vitamin D receptor gene polymor-phisms (FokI) in an Iranian general population based study (Kurdistan) (IMOS)
Background: Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass density (BMD) and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased risk of hip, spine, and wrist fractures. There are numerous risk factors for osteoporosis. While many of these factors are non-genetic in nature, there is a definite genetic component responsible for this condi...
متن کاملBirthweight, vitamin D receptor genotype and the programming of osteoporosis.
Studies of the association between polymorphisms of the gene for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and adult bone mass have been inconsistent, pointing to the possibility that gene--environment interactions may vary in different populations. We have demonstrated previously an association between weight in infancy (a marker of the intrauterine and early post-natal environment) and each of adult bone ...
متن کاملPharmacogenetics of the Vitamin D Receptor and Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a major health care problem internationally with important implications for health care costs, morbidity, and mortality. Bone density, an important predictor of osteoporotic fracture risk, is affected by hormonal and environmental factors. However, in twin and family studies most of its age-specific variance is genetically determined. Common allelic variations in the vitamin D r...
متن کاملAssociation between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (Fok1 and Bsm1) and osteoporosis: a systematic review
Osteoporosis is a health concern characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fragility fractures. Many studies have investigated the association between genetic variants and osteoporosis. Polymorphism and allelic variations in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) have been found to be associated with bone mineral density. However, many studies have not been able to fi...
