Genetic analyses reveal a role for vitamin D insufficiency in HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma development.

Genetic analyses reveal a role for vitamin D insufficiency in HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma development.

Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with the occurrence of various types of cancer, but causal relationships remain elusive. We therefore aimed to determine the relationship between genetic determinants of vitamin D serum levels and the risk of developing hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepa...
