Association Between Vitamin D Binding Protein Gene Polymorphism (rs7041), Vitamin D Receptor, and 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Serum Levels With Prostate Cancer in Kurdish Population in West of Iran.

Abstract excerpt

Prostate cancer (PCa) pathology has been linked to vitamin D, vitamin D receptors (VDRs), and vitamin D binding proteins (VDBPs). We sought to investigate the association between VDR rs2228570 and rs1544410 as well as VDBP rs7041 polymorphisms and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)-vitamin D) levels in PCa patients. Blood samples were collected from 111 PCa patients and 150 age-matched healthy volunteers. The VDR...
