Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in the Kashmir Valley

Conclusions VDR gene polymorphisms appear to be an important genetic determinant in the progression of diabetes. Considering the important predisposition risk factor, we observed that Taq-1 and Bsm-1 were strongly associated with diabetes in northern Indians. But requires further study as a probable genetic risk marker for diabetes.
