Abstract excerpt

Most of the biological actions of vitamin D are mediated by an intracellular receptor (VDR) in which several single nucleotide gene polymorphisms have been identified. Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly identified among thalassemic patients and recent evidence links it with myocardial iron accumulation. The aim of this work was to assess the distribution of the Fok-I polymorphism of the VDR gene among Greek...
