Bone mineral density is associated with vitamin D related rs6013897 and estrogen receptor polymorphism rs4870044: The Tromsø study

), but without consensus. Therefore, we aimed to map and compare the risk genotypes for forearm and total hip low BMD. SNP rs4870044. = 0.015) for total hip BMD. The other SNPs nor serum 25(OH)D were significantly associated with BMD. gene rs6013897 was associated with total hip BMD, but the association was weak and needs confirmation in other studies. Serum 25(OH)D was not associated with BMD in our population, probably due to the generally sufficient vitamin D levels in the population
