Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is considered to be the most common autoimmune
disease. It is currently accepted that genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and …

In recent years, the physiological and molecular functions of vitamin D (Vit-D) have been
deeply investigated. At first, Vit-D was considered a regulator of mineral and skeletal …

Evidence suggests that in most industrialized countries autoimmune disorders, including
chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, are increasing. This increase parallels the one regarding …

Four VD receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms (TaqI, ApaI, FokI and BsmI) have been
reported to influence Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) risk. However, individual studies have …

The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms (rs731236, rs1544410,
rs2228570, and rs7975232) and the risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) had been …

Vitamin D is known to alter immune regulation. It binds to the vitamin D receptors (VDR)
expressed on T lymphocytes and macrophages. In individuals with Hashimoto's thyroiditis …

Purpose. Vitamin D, besides its role in calcium‐phosphorus metabolism, turned out to play a
significant immunomodulating function. Until now four single nucleotide polymorphisms of …

Purpose. The current study aimed at assessing vitamin D level and vitamin D receptor
polymorphism in hypothyroid Egyptian patients and its effect on hypothyroidism and thyroid …

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a common autoimmune disease. Vitamin D is an
important regulator of immune system. It has been shown in several studies that vitamin D …

Unexplained infertility refers to the absence of a definable cause of reproductive failure.
