Abstract excerpt
AIM: to investigate the association between vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and circulating 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) levels with keloid scar (KS) risk. METHODS: A total of 261 patients with KS and 261 normal healthy individuals were enrolled. VDR gene polymorphisms were determined. Circulating 1,25(OH)2D levels were detected. RESULTS: In this study, we investigated the role of four loci of VDR gene...
