The role of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility to prostate cancer of a southern European population.

Journal of human genetics - 1 Jan 2002

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological data indicate a relationship between ultraviolet radiation, vitamin D, and prostate cancer risk. Antiproliferative effects of vitamin D require the expression of the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). A three-fold increase in prostate cancer risk associated with the less active vitamin D receptor allele (the T allele from VDR TaqI polymorphism at codon 352) was reported. The role of VDR genotypes...
