Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate whether the Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms were associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in a Chinese Han population. METHODS: Using a hospital-based case-control study including 100 SSc patients and 100 healthy controls. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VDR region were genotyped by the improved multiplex ligase detection reaction (i MLDR) method....
