The Role of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Colorectal Cancer Risk

The Role of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Colorectal Cancer Risk

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence risk and mortality. Vitamin D mediates its action through the binding of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), and polymorphisms of the VDR might explain these inverse associations. The aim of the study was the investi...
