Variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to several inflammatory
disorders. However, the potential links between such alternations and the risk of developing …

Background: Previous studies had reported that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphisms were related to the development of several inflammatory disorders …

Previous studies have indicated that vitamin D receptor (VDR) TaqI, BsmI, FokI and ApaI
gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of several inflammatory diseases …

Vitamin D is involved in immune system modulation as well as in calcium and bone
homeostasis, hence plays a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) etiopathogenesis. A bulk of …

Introduction Vitamin D deficiency has been reported to be common in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have a higher prevalence of osteoporosis and hip fracture …

Background As for the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms
and osteoporosis, the current results have yielded conflicts. Therefore, we performed a …

The aim of the study is to investigate the association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphism, additional gene–gene interaction, and haplotype combination with systemic …

Objective To investigate the association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms
with OA susceptibility. Methods Meta-analyses were performed using allelic contrast …

Objective. Vitamin D (VitD) has immunomodulatory activity relevant to rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) and acts by binding nuclear receptors that regulate gene transcription. VitD receptor …

Background and aims Vitamin D receptor (VDR) genetic variants are considered to have a
role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study examines an association of …
