Objective: To investigate whether vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) BsmI-rs1544410 and FokI-
rs2228570 polymorphisms, smoking duration, and body mass index (BMI) are risk factors for …

Background Literature data report an association between some vitamin D receptor (VDR)
polymorphisms and different kinds of tumours, including malignant melanoma (MM). Only …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine whether vitamin D receptor (VDR)
polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to melanoma. Methods: A meta-analysis …

Background/Aim: Increasing evidence indicates a relevance of the vitamin D endocrine
system for pathogenesis of malignant melanoma. We performed a systematic review and …

Melanoma represents the most aggressive skin cancer, with an unpredictable and often
treatment resistant behavior. The etiology of melanoma is multifactorial and includes both …

Previous studies have reported that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are
associated with the occurrence of various cancers, including melanoma. The aim of the …

It has been hypothesized that polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene affect the
risk of developing melanoma. However, results often are conflicting, and no meta‐analysis …

Factors known to affect melanoma survival include age at presentation, sex and tumor
characteristics. Polymorphisms also appear to modulate survival following diagnosis. Result …

Melanoma is one of the most aggressive human cancers. The vitamin D system contributes
to the pathogenesis and prognosis of malignancies including cutaneous melanoma. An …

We have carried out melanoma case–control comparisons for six vitamin D receptor (VDR)
gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in …
