Psoriasis is caused by a combination of genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors.
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is involved in antiproliferative and prodifferentiation pathways …

Background Vitamin D is considered a regulator of the immune system, and its
polymorphisms have been associated with psoriasis in some but not all reports. Aim To …

The aim of this study was to explore whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms
confer susceptibility to psoriasis. Meta-analyses were conducted on the associations …

Abstract Background and Aim: Psoriasis is a chronic, relapsing and inflammatory
multisystemic disease with both genetic predisposition and autoimmune pathogenic traits …

Psoriasis is a common genetic disease characterized by hyperproliferation and disordered
maturation of keratinocytes. To date, many association studies between psoriasis and VDR …

Summary Background Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been studied as
candidate variants that affect psoriasis risk. However, results have been conflicting. Methods …

Background The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a master regulator of epidermal barrier
function, inflammation, stem-cell proliferation, and microbial defense. Objective To evaluate …

Vitamin D receptor is a trans-acting transcriptional factor that mediates 1α, 25-
dihydroxyvitamin D 3 action in the regulation of target gene expression. Recent studies have …

Background Many clinical features of psoriasis include a rash with itchy, scaly patches, most
frequently on the knees, elbows, trunk, and scalp. By studying genes involved with psoriasis …

Cis‐acting regulatory variants in biologically relevant pathways and target tissues are a
common source of phenotypic variations and individual disease susceptibility. In the skin …
