Polymorphisms in vitamin D-related genes and risk of uterine leiomyomata.

Fertility and sterility - 1 Aug 2014

Wise Lauren A, Ruiz-Narváez Edward A, Haddad Stephen A, Rosenberg Lynn, Palmer Julie R

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To investigate uterine leiomyomata (UL) incidence in relation to polymorphisms in genes involved in vitamin D metabolism and skin pigmentation. Rates of UL are 2-3 times higher in African Americans than in European Americans. Recent studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of UL. DESIGN: Nested case-control study. SETTING: Not applicable. PATIENT(S): Two thousand...
