Background In this study, we aimed to determine the risk association between vitamin D
binding protein (VDBP) polymorphism in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a MS …

We summarized the current evidence on vitamin D and major health outcomes from
Mendelian randomization (MR) studies. PubMed and Embase were searched for original …

Blacks have different dominant polymorphisms in the vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) gene
that result in higher bioavailable vitamin D than whites. This study tested whether the lack of …

Vitamin D is being increasingly studied in multiple sclerosis (MS). A number of studies have
shown that MS patients have lower levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D as compared to …

Objective The aim of this study was to explore whether vitamin D receptor (VDR)
polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Meta …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a major inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central
nervous system and has an increasing prevalence in populations residing at higher …

Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) gene encodes for Gc, an α 2 globulin that transports vitamin
D metabolites in serum. Given the role of vitamin D in MS onset and disease progression we …

The most recent findings linking exposure to sun and vitamin D insufficiency to multiple
sclerosis (MS) are reviewed. Due to insufficient sunshine and changing lifestyles …

Vitamin D has been studied for over a century and its functions related to calcium
homeostasis are well established. Over the last 30years or so it has become increasingly …

Background Growing evidence suggests that hypovitaminosis D contributes to the
pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective This study aimed to evaluate whether …
