We longitudinally studied whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) and estrogen receptor (ER) gene polymorphisms in Japanese women influenced the effect of longterm hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine. The 81 subjects were aged 40 to 64 years (mean +/- SEM, 49.5 +/- 0.6 years), and had received sequential or continuous HRT regimens, including 0.625 mg of conjugated equine estrogen and 2.5 to 5 mg of medroxy-progesterone acetate, for at least 3 years. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood cells, and analyzed for restriction fragment length polymorphism, using the restriction endonucleases Taq I, Apa I, and Fok I for VDR, and Pvu II and Xba I for ER. At 1 year, subjects with a Taq I genotype of TT (i.e., site absent) showed a significantly greater increase in BMD with treatment (DeltaBMD) than subjects with the Tt genotype (2.6 +/- 0.5% vs -0.8 +/- 1.4%; P = 0.016). A small difference between genotypes remained at 2 years (3.8 +/- 0.6% vs 0.8 +/- 1.6%; P = 0.069), but no significant difference between genotypes was seen at 3 years. In multiple regression analyses, DeltaBMD at 1 year was significantly affected by VDR- Taq I, Apa I, and ER- Pvu II genotypes and by age at treatment initiation, although at 3 years or more, DeltaBMD was significantly affected only by age. These results indicate that Taq I VDR gene polymorphism predicted the effect on lumbar BMD for the first year of HRT in Japanese women, and that the differences in BMD versus the polymorphism disappeared if the treatment was continued for over 2 years.
