Abstract excerpt
The expression of the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR), which is involved in regulating cell growth and proliferation, may contribute to the development of colorectal cancer. Polymorphisms in the VDR gene (OMIM 601769) may influence the expression or function of the VDR protein. A population-based, case-control study of VDR start codon, intron, and exon polymorphisms, haplotypes for these polymorphisms, and the...
