Genetic variants of VDR and vitamin D insufficiency are associated with chronic spontaneous urticaria in Colombian adults

Several studies have demonstrated how serum vitamin D deficiency and SNPs polymorphism in the receptor of vitamin D gene (VDR) influence diverse pathologies with immune compliance. Methods an analytical case-control study was carried out with 150 non-family related subjects: 50 CSU patients and 100...

Summary:Several studies have demonstrated how serum vitamin D deficiency and SNPs polymorphism in the receptor of vitamin D gene (VDR) influence diverse pathologies with immune compliance. Methods an analytical case-control study was carried out with 150 non-family related subjects: 50 CSU patients and 100 healthy controls matched by age.
