Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The vitamin D endocrine system regulates bone and calcium homeostasis.
  • Alterations in vitamin D pathways disrupt mineral metabolism.
  • Vitamin D's role is implicated in cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and human diseases.
  • To discuss the potential of VDR polymorphisms as diagnostic tools.

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on VDR polymorphisms.
  • Epidemiological and association studies comparing patient groups with controls.
  • Analysis of genetic variations in the VDR gene.
