Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Turner syndrome (TS) patients display considerable immune misregulation, and it is hypothesized that Vitamin D (VTD) activity may fluctuate according to Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and/or expression profile. To uncover a possible relationship between VDR genotype and clinical conditions in TS patients, we investigated two functional VDR variants (Cdx-2 and FokI) for allele and genotype...
