Association between Fok1 and TaqI polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor gene with the severity of stenosis and calcification in carotid bulb in patients with ischemic stroke.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There have been plenty of reports regarding the association between Vitamin D (Vit D) and carotid atherosclerosis and stroke. We aimed to assess the association between FokI and TaqI polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the severity of carotid bulb stenosis and the incidence of carotid bulb calcification in patients with ischemic stroke.
