Hypovitaminosis D is a major public health problem worldwide and unexpectedly more so in sunny countries. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is associated with inter-individual variance in bone mineral ...

In a recent case-control study published in Scientific Reports, researchers compared single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene between mild and severe coronavirus ...

To investigate associations of 2 vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI), we compared 56 young children hospitalized with ALRI and 64 children ...

Several reports have found a relation between polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) and the development of type 1 diabetes. We have examined the association of three VDR polymorphism with ...

We showed previously that in early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), serum vitamin D levels and VDR polymorphisms were associated with survival. We hypothesized that vitamin D levels and VDR ...

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, researchers assessed the association between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants and the vitamin D ...

In the present study, we investigated VDR protein expression and lethal prostate cancer in the Physicians' Health Study (PHS) and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS). We also investigated ...
