Vitamin D levels and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in asthmatic children: a case–control study
22 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the gene encoding vitamin D receptor (VDR) have been associated with asthma. OBJECTIVE: To compare 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and the frequency of 3 SNPs in the VDR gene between asthmatic and healthy children. METHODS: In persistent asthmatic and healthy control children, the 25OHD levels were measured using radioimmunoassay and...
