Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) may protect against prostate cancer via a mechanism involving vitamin D. Thus, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is a susceptibility candidate, though published data are discrepant. We studied the association of prostate cancer risk with five VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): G/A(1229) (SNP 1), A/G(3944) (SNP 2), T/C(30875) (SNP 3), C/T(48200) (SNP 4) and C/T(65013) (SNP 5),...
