common variations and interactions of gene-environment factors and atopic dermatitis (AD) …

Results The VDR rs1544410 polymorphism increased the risk of atopic dermatitis in our
Turkish population [OR, 12.2; 95% CI, 0.44-336; P=. 05]. The FoqI, TaqI, and ApaI …

Background Vitamin D mediates immunomodulatory functions, and beneficial functions in
allergic diseases have been suggested. Vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms are …

Background Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are involved in a variety of
immune-related diseases, and VDR is associated with allergic rhinitis. The present study …

Interaction of environmental factors and the gene polymorphisms has been shown to
increase the risk of resulting allergic diseases. In addition to vitamin D forming the cellular …

Associations between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and allergic diseases
were already reported by many publications. The aim of this meta-analysis was to clarify …

Background: In order to improve the control of atopic diseases, it is important to clarify the
pathogenesis of atopy and identify its various triggers. Single nucleotide polymorphisms …

Background Modulation of the immune system is one of the principal roles of Vitamin D, for
which the effects are exerted via the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Importantly, variants in the …

Background The occurrence of allergic conditions, for example allergic asthma, rhinitis, and
atopic dermatitis, is rising worldwide. These allergic conditions are associated with poor life …

Abstract Background Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial cutaneous disorder with a
