Abstract excerpt
Vitamin D has potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be associated with the risk of vulnerability to different infectious diseases, such as neonatal sepsis. Polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene can influence the expression of vitamin D in individuals. Hence, it is essential to study the vitamin D status and VDR gene polymorphisms for assessing...
