Genetic contribution to bone metabolism, calcium excretion, and vitamin D and parathyroid hormone regulation.
A classical twin study was performed to assess the relative contribution of genetic and environmental factors to bone metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and the hormones regulating them. It was examined further whether the genetic effect is menopause dependent. The subjects were 2136 adult twins (98.3...
