Example sentences for: vdr
How can you use “vdr” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In this study, we examined the role of the Fok I polymorphism in the translation initiation codon of the VDR gene in 49 healthy, glucose tolerant Caucasians who underwent a standard oral glucose tolerance test.
The most convincing evidence comes from a study of peak BMD in a group of pre-pubertal girls [ 10], which confirms the relationship between VDR gene polymorphism and BMD.
Since the Bsm I polymorphism is located in intron 7, the Apa I polymorphism in intron 8, and the Taq I polymorphism in exon 9 within the 3'-untranslated region of the VDR gene, they are less likely to have any biological consequences in causing the disease and affecting glucose metabolism.
In the present study, we report an association between a polymorphism at the translation initiation codon of the human VDR gene and insulin sensitivity in glucose tolerant and normotensive Caucasians.
However, to date there are more than 50 studies on the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms and BMD [ 9].
