Association analysis between the VDR gene variants and type 2 diabetes

ConclusionOur findings were suggestive of the rs731236 polymorphism of theVDR as a risk factor for developing T2DM in the Iranian population, while rs1544410 polymorphism may not be associated with T2DM susceptibility. Further research is needed to approve these findings in other populations and to clarify the underlying mechanisms involved in such an association.
