Association between vitamin D receptor gene Cdx2 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been reported to influence susceptibility to breast cancer. However, published findings on the association between VDR Cdx2 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility are conflicting. To get a precise estimation of the association between VDR Cdx2 polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility, we conducted a meta-analysis of four case-control studies with a total of 8,880 subjects (3,841 cases and 5,039 controls).
