Vitamin D receptor genetic variants are associated with susceptibility of gallbladder adenocarcinoma in a Chinese cohort

Z. Li, Yuan, W. T., Ning, S. J., and Zhang, S. J., Vitamin D receptor genetic variants are associated with susceptibility of gallbladder adenocarcinoma in a Chinese cohort, vol. 13, pp. 5387-5394, 2014.

The aim of this study was to test for the possible association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) genetic variants and susceptibility to gallbladder cancer (GBC). A total of 291 GBC cases were recruited and 396 gender- and age-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled as controls. The VDR gene polymorphisms were determined in all subjects. The genotype and the allele frequencies of ApaI, BsmI, and TaqI polymorphisms were not significantly different between GBC subjects and controls.
