Significance of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms for Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chronic Hepatitis C
2 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Biological and epidemiological data suggest that vitamin D levels may influence cancer development. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms have been described in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in association with cancer risk. We aimed to investigate the association of VDR gene polymorphisms with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in chronic hepatitis C patients. METHODS: In a...
