BACKGROUND Patients with COPD are at an increased risk of osteoporosis. Although many studies have addressed the relationship between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and bone health, this relationship has not been fully investigated in patients with COPD. In this study, we investigated the association of VDR polymorphisms with bone mineral density (BMD) and other clinical parameters ...

INTRODUCTION Experimental studies suggest vitamin D inhibits ovarian carcinogenesis. Yet, epidemiologic studies of ovarian cancer risk and lifestyle correlates of vitamin D status, plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], or vitamin D receptor (VDR) variants have been inconsistent. OBJECTIVE To evaluate VDR genetic associations by high vs. low predicted 25(OH)D, scores derived from known determi...

BACKGROUND Vitamin D and its analogues are reported to have renoprotective effects in chronic kidney disease including diabetic nephropathy (DN). Vitamin D(3) is converted to 1,25(OH)D(3) by CYP2R1 and CYP27B1. The biological action of 1,25(OH)D(3) is mediated via its receptor. VDR, CYP27B1 or CYP2R1 gene variants could modify the biological activity of vitamin D(3). We have conducted the first...

BACKGROUND Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder, is the most common form of dementia in people over 65 years old. The role of vitamin D in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders such as AD has been supported by epidemiologic investigations and animal models, as well. We examined the association of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Biological and epidemiological data suggest that vitamin D levels may influence cancer development. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms have been described in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in association with cancer risk. We aimed to investigate the association of VDR gene polymorphisms with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in chronic hepatitis C patients. ME...

INTRODUCTION A high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency has been reported in Parkinson's disease (PD). Epidemiologic studies examining variability in genes involved in vitamin D metabolism have not taken into account level of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR). We examined whether exposure to UVR (as a surrogate for vitamin D levels) and variations in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) are a...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and the risk of skin diseases has been widely studied, yet there is only one study on atopic dermatitis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between 4 VDR polymorphisms and atopic dermatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional case control study was performed between March 20...
