Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the association between polymorphism of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and lead poisoning in Uygur and Han children in China. METHODS: The BsmI, ApaI and TaqI restriction sites of VDR genotyping were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 443 Uygur and 469 Han children from Xinjiang province. The correlation between the polymorphism of VDR haplotypes...
