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 …

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 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 …

As recent studies have described an association between vitamin D and allergic rhinitis, we
hypothesized that vitamin D pathway-related genes may be candidate genes for …

Background: Asthma is a common chronic airway disorder associated with significant
morbidity and mortality. Objective: Current study aims at investigating the correlation …

Background During the last decade, several studies have evaluated the potential
association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to …

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 …

Background Studies investigated the associations between four Vitamin D receptor (VDR)
common variations and interactions of gene-environment factors and atopic dermatitis (AD) …

Background Recent reports have suggested that lower vitamin D serum levels are
associated with susceptibility to and severity of asthma in different white populations, which …

Background Asthma is a genetically heterogeneous disease. Polymorphisms of genes
encoding components of the vitamin D pathway have been reported to associate with the …
