Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between bone turnover markers (BTM) and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
- It involved 165 patients, assessing their BMD and levels of specific bone markers, revealing higher osteocalcin (OC) and propeptide levels in Type 1 DM compared to Type 2, but no significant differences in BMD between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that certain gene polymorphisms are associated with lower lumbar BMD and higher OC levels, indicating that OC could be a valuable predictor for bone loss risk in diabetic patients, potentially guiding personalized treatment strategies.
