Lack of correlation of free deoxypyridinoline excretion with Taq1 restriction length polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene in males

An association between allelic variants in the vitamin D receptor gene and bone mineral density has been previously described. A bimodal variation in the rate of bone resorption (as measured by urinary deoxypyridinoline excretion rate) has also been reported. We have recruited male volunteers, to mi...
