Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and idiopathic Parkinson disease: an Egyptian study
Abstract Background Accumulating data have suggested that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is a pretender gene for vulnerability to Parkinson disease (PD). This study aimed to assess the relationship of VDR gene polymorphisms (FokI and ApaI) with PD. Fifty patients suffering from PD and 50 age- and sex...
