I vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients with cardiovascular risk.
Arch Med Sci Atheroscler Dis
December 2019
Introduction: The biological actions of vitamin D are mediated through vitamin D receptor (VDR). Numerous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VDR gene have been identified, and some have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. This study aims to evaluate the association of five SNPs in the VDR gene with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels in patients with at least one CVD risk factor.

Lipid and non-lipid markers of CVD and their relationship to vitamin D deficiency have not been assessed simultaneously.
