Abstract excerpt
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy frequently accompanied with skeletal co-morbidity. Vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) is an important mediator of skeletal homeostasis that mediates its effect by binding to vitamin D receptor (VDR), a steroid family receptor and modulates various downstream pathways. Multiple polymorphisms have been determined in VDR gene that witnessed significant association with cancer...
