title: [Genetic risk factors of osteoporosis--vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism].
abstract: The aetiology of osteoporosis is not fully understood but it was suggested that the genetic factors could play an important role. The many studies have presented the key role of the polymorphism of the gene encoding for vitamin D receptor (VDR). The modern concepts about VDR and osteoporosis were summarised in this review.
