Exclusive underexpression of vitamin D receptor exon 1f transcripts in tumors of primary hyperparathyroidism.

Vitamin D Receptor TaqI Gene Variant in Exon 9 and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Risk

Polymorphisms within Exon 9, But Not Intron 8, of the Vitamin D Receptor Gene Are Associated with Asthma

Objective(s) Deregulation of the immune system through allied factors and cytokine responses are thought to be important contributors to the pathogenesis of asthma. Vitamin D3 and its nuclear receptor appear to be factors that maybe involved in regulating immune responses during the progression of asthma. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in intron ...

Vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism in pediatrics obesity

Obesity is one of the health problems in the developing and developed countries. Obesity subjects the individuals with metabolic and endocrine disorders. It is obvious that vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency may lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thus, obesity increases the risk of vitamin D deficiency. Considering the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children and adolescents w...

Myelofibrosis due to Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in a Case of Celiac Disease

Myelofibrosis is reported in patents with primary hyperparathyroidism. It is also was reported in patents with sec- ondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal disease or Vitamin D dependent rickets .We present a case of celiac disease and osteomalacia which leads to secondary hyperparathyroidism and myelofibrosis.

Novel Compound Heterozygous Mutations in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene in a Korean Girl with Hereditary Vitamin D Resistant Rickets

Hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. A number of cases had been reported in many countries but not in Korea. We examined a three-year old Korean girl who had the typical clinical features of HVDRR including rickets, hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, elevated serum calcitriol level and secondary hyperparath...
