Abstract excerpt
OBJECTS: To investigate the distribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR) genotypes among the Hans of a lead contaminated mine in Shanxi and explore the relationship between blood lead levels and the genetic polymorphism of VDR gene. METHODS: VDR genotypes were determined by polymerase-chain-reaction and restrictive fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and the blood lead level was measured by using the graphite...
