The role of polymorphism of TaqI in Vitamin D receptor gene and risk of ovarian cancer in women of North India
Background & objective: Ovarian cancer mortality is associated with lower regional sunlight exposure. Vitamin D and its metabolites are best known for their action in calcium and bone metabolism. However, epidemiological studies have suggested that an increased ovarian cancer risk is associated with decreased production of vitamin D. The vitamin D signaling pathway is involved in a wide variety...
متن کاملTaq1 Polymorphism (rs731236) of Vitamin D Receptor Gene in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Several studies have shown that ALL occurs as a result of genetic abnormalities. 1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 as a secosteroid hormone plays an important role in different metabolic pathways. The normal function of vitamin D occurs via binding to a ligand-activated transcription factor i.e. vitamin D receptor (VDR)...
متن کاملThe Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene BsmI Polymorphism with Multiple Sclerosis in Iranian Patients
Background & Aims: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25 (OH)2 D3), the biologically active form of vitamin D, exerts an immunosuppressive effect through binding to its specific nuclear receptor. The present case-control study was done to examine the possible association of BsmI polymorphism in vitamin D receptor gene (VDR gene) with severity of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: 267 Iranian patients w...
متن کاملIs there any association between a vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism (FokI) and pemphigus vulgaris?
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune bullous disease of the skin and mucous membranes caused by activation and proliferation of T cells, production of Th2 cytokine profile and pathogenic antibodies. Vitamin D is a probable immunodeviator to Th2, which its actions are mediated through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). FokI is the only single nucleot...
متن کاملVitamin D receptor gene polymorphism in patients with sarcoidosis.
The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), is known to be produced at sites of granulomatous reactions in sarcoidosis. 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) has multiple immunomodulatory effects, and acts as a promoter of multinucleated giant cell formation. Polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has recently been shown to be related to bone mineral density, and also associated ...
