Review and meta-analysis on vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and cancer risk.

Carcinogenesis - 1 Jul 2009

Raimondi Sara, Johansson Harriet, Maisonneuve Patrick, Gandini Sara

Abstract excerpt

It was suggested that vitamin D levels influence cancer development. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a crucial mediator for the cellular effects of vitamin D. Results from previous studies on the association of VDR polymorphisms with different cancer types are somewhat contradictory, and the role of VDR in the etiology of cancer is still equivocal. We therefore performed a meta-analysis on the association between...
