Variants in the vitamin D receptor gene and asthma.

BMC genetics - 15 Jan 2005

Wjst Matthias

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Early lifetime exposure to dietary or supplementary vitamin D has been predicted to be a risk factor for later allergy. Twin studies suggest that response to vitamin D exposure might be influenced by genetic factors. As these effects are primarily mediated through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), single base variants in this gene may be risk factors for asthma or allergy. RESULTS: 951 individuals from...
