Downregulation of serum vitamin D receptor level, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms ApaI and TaqI with obesity in the Bangladeshi population
We report the downregulation of serum VDR levels and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in people with obesity. Moreover, a polymorphism of Apal (rs7975232 C > A) in the VDR gene increases the risk of developing obesity in the Bangladeshi population.
