“…Numerous studies have investigated the association between VDR polymorphisms and risk of cancers, mostly breast and prostate cancer, but the obtained data were not consistent and had low reproducibility between studies. A recent study has shown no association between VDRFokI and BsmI polymorphisms and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in a Chinese Han population (33) which is in agreement with our results. It has been reported that VDR EcoRV EE mutant genotype compared with ee wild type genotype is associated with decreased risk of cutaneous melanoma (17).…”

“…43 The distribution of at least 1 important vitamin D receptor polymorphism (FokI) is known to differ by race/ethnicity. 4446 We recently observed that common genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor modify associations of serum 25(OH)D concentration with risk of a composite clinical outcome among older white adults, supporting the principle that genetic variation in the vitamin D receptor alters susceptibility to low 25(OH)D. 47 …”

“… 28 , 37 , 38 , 39 In contrast, FokI and Bsm I polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor gene, SNP of deleted in liver cancer-1 (−29A/T) showed no association with NPC. 40 , 41 However, polymorphisms in PIN-1, TNF-α and glutathione S -transferase genes are indirectly associated with NPC as they influence the p53 codon72 polymorphism. 42 , 43 , 44 These studies suggest that genetic predisposition may play a role in NPC development.…”
