Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: We report here the first association between vitamin D-resistant rickets, alopecia, and type 1 diabetes in a child with compound heterozygous mutations in the VDR gene. Transfection studies suggest dissociated effects of VDR gene mutations on the regulation of genes involved in vitamin D metabolism and dendritic cell maturation. INTRODUCTION: Whereas vitamin D may play a role in the immune tolerance...
