Abstract excerpt
Vitamin D has immunomodulatory effects, and its deficiency has been implicated in the autoimmune process of type 1 diabetes. Serum vitamin D levels are influenced by variants in genes involved in the synthesis, transport, hydroxylation and degradation of vitamin D. The aim of this study was to assess if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the DHCR7 (rs12785878), GC (rs2282679), CYP2R1 (rs2060793) and...
