Vitamin D receptor gene methylation is associated with ethnicity, tuberculosis, and TaqI polymorphism
The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene encodes a transcription factor which, on activation by vitamin D, modulates diverse biologic processes, including calcium homeostasis and immune function. Genetic variation involving VDR shows striking differences in allele frequency between populations and has been...
