Protective association of VDR gene polymorphisms and haplotypes with multiple sclerosis patients in Egyptian population

Protective association of VDR gene polymorphisms and haplotypes with multiple sclerosis patients in Egyptian population

Abstract Background Hypovitaminosis D is one of the hazardous factors for multiple sclerosis (MS) and can be attested by expanding clinical studies. We aimed to study vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms: FokI, BsmI, ApaI, TaqI, and Tru9I genotype; frequency; haplotype structure; and linkage...
