There are numerous indications that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, a common condition characterized by reduced bone mass and increased fracture risk. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has been suggested as a possible candidate gene for the regulation of bone mass but the relationship between VDR polymorphisms and bone mineral density (BMD) is controversial and has not been confirmed by all workers in different ethnic groups studied.
