Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Low concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D) have been associated with increased risk and poor prognosis of various cancer types, including colon cancer. Common genetic variants in genes that influence circulating 25(OH)D levels may affect vitamin D concentrations and risk of vitamin D insufficiency. In the present study, we investigated the association of three functional gene variants in GC...
