Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The objective of the present meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between TaqI (rs731236), ApaI (rs7975232) and BsmI (rs1544410) polymorphisms of the VDR gene and lumbar spine pathologies such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar disc degeneration. BACKGROUND: VDR gene polymorphisms have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of lumbar spine pathologies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A...
