Variation in associations between allelic variants of the vitamin D receptor gene and onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus by ambient winter ultraviolet radiation levels: a meta-regression analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms may be associated with risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but reports have been conflicting. The authors reexamined population-based case-control studies on selected VDR polymorphisms and T1DM to investigate whether variation in reported associations could be partly explained by differences in ambient winter ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels. A...
