Vitamin D receptor poly(A) microsatellite and colorectal cancer risk in Caucasians.

International journal of colorectal disease - 1 Feb 2009

Flügge Jana, Laschinski Gabriele, Roots Ivar, Krusekopf Solveigh

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer incidence and prognosis are influenced by vitamin D intake and expression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Polymorphisms of the VDR are linked to several diseases. This study was aimed to investigate whether variants of the VDR poly(A) microsatellite are associated with colorectal cancer incidence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The poly(A) polymorphism was analyzed in a series of 255...
