Background Vitamin D deficiency is associated with various chronic disease conditions. The
expression and nuclear activation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) are essential for the effect of …

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a potential candidate for cardiovascular disease. To date the
genetic association of VDR with ischemic stroke has not been explored. In the present study …

BACKGROUND: The vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been reported to be
associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), however, evidence remains conflicting. A meta …

There are conflicting results regarding the exact effect of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphisms on the susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, we aimed to …

Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative chronic inflammatory. Mutations in
the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene can substantially affect serum vitamin D levels or alter its …

Objectives The vitamin D receptor (VDR) modulates the expression of different genes that
are involved in various cell processes. Abnormality in expression and genetic polymorphism …

Objective: To investigate three polymorphic sites ApaI, BsmI and TaqI of vitamin D receptor
(VDR) gene on chromosome 12q (12–12q14) as candidate Cardiovasculrr disease (CVD) in …

Background and purpose Low vitamin D levels, measured by serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D
[25 (OH) D], are associated with increased stroke risk. Less is known about whether this …

Multiple sclerosis is one of the most widespread demyelinating diseases of the central
nervous system. Environmental and genetic factors are collaborating in triggering MS. The …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a multifactorial disease (caused by both environmental and
genetic features) that could results from a demyelination of the myelin sheath. Subsequently …
