Results on the relationships between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and
postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) susceptibility and bone mineral density (BMD) are …

Objective: Growing evidence has shown that vitamin D deficiency can cause lower bone
mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of osteoporosis. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) Bsm …

Objective: Osteoporosis is a bone disorder that reduces bone mineral density (BMD) and
leads to bone fracture. In addition to different factors, gene polymorphisms have been …

Background: Vitiligo is a progressive depigmenting disorder characterized by the loss of
functional melanocytes from the epidermis. The etiopathogenesis of vitiligo is still unclear …

Background Patients with COPD are at an increased risk of osteoporosis. Although many
