Abstract: In recently, a number of researchers have focused on the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) and bone metabolism. It has been shown that the vitamin D that the active metabolite is 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3, has play in important role in the regulation bone metabolism and absorption of calcium and phosphorous. The VDR is easily expressed polymorphisms in the different communities even the different individuals. It have been reported that the four single nucleotide polymorphisms of VDR were FokI,BsmI,ApaI,TaqI. The purpose of this review is to summarize the progress of the relationship between VDR gene polymorphsims and bone metabolism in aspects of calcium absorption, bone mass, bone mineral density, osteoporosis and rickets and so on.

Key words: VDR gene; polymorphisms; bone metabolism
