Abstract excerpt
Molecular epidemiologic studies previously reported that 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2 D3) appears to influence cancer risk. It exerts its activity through the intracellular vitamin D receptor (VDR), which regulates the transcription of genes. This study aimed to investigate the genetic association of VDR polymorphisms with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) risk in the Chinese population. The genotypes of five...
