Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To verify that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of vitamin D receptor (VDR) may lead to genetic susceptibility to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the present study was designed to study four SNPs of VDR associated with LVH in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients of Han nationality. METHODS: 120 MHD patients were recruited at Department of Nephrology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan...
