Vitamin D receptor and vitamin D binding protein gene polymorphisms in patients with asthma: a pilot study

Vitamin D receptor and vitamin D binding protein gene polymorphisms in patients with asthma: a pilot study

Abstract Background The effects of vitamin D are exerted by interaction with the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP). Polymorphisms in VDR or VDBP genes may affect vitamin D levels, influencing the pathogenesis of asthma and atopy. The aim of this study was to investigate t...
