Genetic determinants of bone mineral content in premature infants

Table 1

Bone mineral content (BMC) of the radial shaft, forearm shaft, and distal forearm in prematurely born children with different vitamin D receptor (VDR), oestrogen receptor (ERα) and collagen type I α1 (COLIA1) genotypes

  • p Values were obtained by analysis of covariance with genotypes aa, Aa, and AA, ff, Ff, and FF, tt, Tt, and TT, pp, pP, and PP, or ss, Ss, and SS as factors and weight at time of measurement of bone mineral status as covariate.

  • The p values for the VDR FokI, ERαPvuII and COLIA1 genotypes are not reported because the distributions are not representative.
