2019-10-03
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold>: The deficiency of vitamin D receptor (VDR) or its ligand, vitamin D3, is linked to the development of renal diseases. The TaqI (rs731236) and ApaI (rs7975232) polymorphisms of VDR gene are widely studied for their association with renal disease risk. However, studies have largely been ambiguous. <bold>Objectives</bold>: Here, a meta-analysis comprising 2669 rena...
