Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The Fok1 polymorphism (rs2228570) in vitamin D receptor gene appears to be the only polymorphism influencing size of translated protein. Investigations into its association with coronary artery disease (CAD) are sparse. METHODS: Male patients (n = 98) with verified CAD were recruited alongside age- and sex-matched controls (n = 55). Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP and plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D...
