Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and prostate cancer risk in Brazilian men.

The International journal of biological markers - 1 Jan 2000

Maistro S, Snitcovsky I, Sarkis A S, da Silva I A, Brentani M M

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin D seems to be an important determinant of prostate cancer risk and inherited polymorphisms in the 3'untranslated region of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been associated with the risk and progression of prostate cancer in some populations. We therefore studied VDR gene polymorphisms, as detected by Apal and Taql restriction fragments, in multiethnic Brazilian men (165 patients and 200 controls)...
