Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies have confirmed associations of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and vitamin D-related gene polymorphisms with adiposity and other metabolic disturbances. Those associations may be sex-specific. We evaluated the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between metabolic disturbances and haplotypes constructed from single nucleotide polymorphisms of VDR (BsmI:G/A: rs1544410; ApaI:A/C:...
