Background: In recent years, the relevance of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene restriction
fragment length polymorphisms for various types of cancer has been investigated by a great …

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women around the world and its
incidence is annually increasing. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is a member of the …

Background: Vitamin D mediates its action via vitamin D receptor (VDR) and is involved in a
wide variety of biological processes including regulation of cell proliferation and …

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) can influence cancer susceptibility through binding to vitamin
D. However, the previous studies were contradictory. Therefore this meta-analysis was …

Background To identify the most suitable genetic model for detecting the risk of breast
cancer (BC)/ovarian cancer (OC) in specific populations. Methods Databases were …
