Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of the genes involved in the metabolism of vitamin D may predispose to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). For example, there is evidence suggesting that vitamin D binding protein (DBP) amino acid variants at codons 416 (aspartic acid-->glutamic acid) and 420 (threonine-->lysine) may affect genetic susceptibility to T2DM. The aims of this study are: (1) to determine the allele, genotype, haplotype and...
