Background: Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of
prospective studies on colorectal cancer (CRC) and vitamin D intake and 25-hydroxyvitamin …

Increasing scientific evidence supports the link between vitamin D and cancer risk. The
active metabolite 1, 25 (OH) 2D exerts its activity by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) …

AIM: To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms present in the vitamin D
receptor (VDR) gene and colorectal cancer risk, a systematic meta-analysis of population …

Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) have been associated inconsistently
with various diseases, across populations of diverse origin. The T (f) allele of the functional …

The protective effect of vitamin D against several cancers including colorectal cancer is
modulated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its ligand, the active form of vitamin D. VDR …

The VDR gene is an important regulator of the vitamin D pathway, and the role of some of its
polymorphisms on cancer risk was previously investigated. A trend of cancer risk reduction …

Background: Recent studies have reported an association between vitamin D receptor
(VDR) polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk; however, the results are …

There is ample evidence today that vitamin D signalling via the vitamin D receptor (VDR)
plays a pivotal role in cancer growth and metastasis. The aim of this study was to analyse …

Background The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is present in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells
and its genetic variants have been associated with an increased risk of CRC. The …

Objective: In this study, we investigated the association of two vitamin D receptor (VDR)
polymorphisms BsmI and TaqI with colon cancer in a Caucasian population. Methods: The …
