Association of Vitamin D Binding Protein BP rs2282679 Gene Polymorphism and Serum Levels of Vitamin D in Patients with Vitiligo
Abstract: For vitamin D to have an impact, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) must be expressed and activated in the nucleus. The VDR has several known genetic variants. Biological impacts can be caused by changes in DNA sequences known as "polymorphisms" that are common in the population. Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin color in patches, and it is a chronic (long-lasting) autoimmune disorder loss of color. The …
