Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of Bone-Density from Vitamin-D Receptor Alleles
Nigel Alexander Morrison,Jian Cheng Qi,Akifumi Tokita,Paul J. Kelly,Linda Crofts,Tuan V. Nguyen,Philip N. Sambrook,John A. Eisman +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that common allelic variants in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor can be used to predict differences in bone density, accounting for up to 75% of the total genetic effect on bone density in healthy individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic determinants of bone mass in adults. A twin study.
Nicholas Pocock,John A. Eisman,John L. Hopper,Michael G. Yeates,Philip N. Sambrook,Stefan Eberl +5 more
TL;DR: The lesser genetic contribution to proximal femur and distal forearm bone mass compared with the spine suggests that environmental factors are of greater importance in the aetiology of osteopenia of the hip and wrist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of corticosteroid osteoporosis. A comparison of calcium, calcitriol, and calcitonin.
Philip N. Sambrook,J Birmingham,Paul Kelly,Susan Kempler,Tuan V. Nguyen,Nicholas Pocock,John A. Eisman +6 more
TL;DR: Calcitriol and calcium, used prophylactically with or without calcitonin, prevent corticosteroid-induced bone loss in the lumbar spine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle strength, physical fitness, and weight but not age predict femoral neck bone mass.
Nicholas Pocock,Nicholas Pocock,John A. Eisman,Tom H. Gwinn,Philip N. Sambrook,Paul J. Kelly,Judith Freund,Michael G. Yeates +7 more
TL;DR: The relative importance of muscle strength, physical fitness, and body mass index (BMI) in addition to age in the determination of proximal femoral BMD in 73 healthy female volunteers age 20–75 years is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of vitamin D receptor gene alleles to the determination of bone mineral density in normal and osteoporotic women
Lawrence B. Riggs,Tijan V. Nguyen,Joseph L. Melton,Nigel Alexander Morrison,William M. O'Fallon,Paul J. Kelly,Kathleen S. Egan,Philip N. Sambrook,Joan M. Muhs,John A. Eisman +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the VDR gene modulates differences in BMD in premenopausal women and the role of VDR genotypes in predisposing to osteoporosis needs further study.
