Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have important implications for vitamin D signalling and are associated with various malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a German population, the frequency of several VDR polymorphisms (Apa1, Taq1, Bgl1) in basal cell carcinomas (BCCs, n=90) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs, n=100) as compared to healthy controls (n=51) was analyzed. RESULTS:...
