The relative contribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR), collagen type 1, α-1 (COL1A1), tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2), polymorphisms, physical activity and bone mineral-free lean mass to bone parameters in children

Background: This study sought to investigate the relationship of physical activity (PA), dietary calcium and 3 candidate gene (VDR, COL1A1 and TNFR2) genotypes on bone mass in children (n = 327, age 10.33 ± 0.65). The study also sought to investigate the effect of PA and genotype on bone mineral-fre...
