Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and the risk of cutaneous melanoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cancer - 1 Nov 2008

Mocellin Simone, Nitti Donato

Abstract excerpt

It has been hypothesized that polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene affect the risk of developing melanoma. However, results often are conflicting, and no meta-analysis has been performed to date on published data. Six studies (cases, 2152; controls, 2410) that investigated the association between 5 VDR polymorphisms (TaqI, FokI, BsmI, EcoRV, and Cdx2) and the risk of melanoma were retrieved and...
