  Background and Objectives: Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism has long been known for its association with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). We aimed to investigate the potential role of VDR gene polymorphisms in CKD patients. Design and Methods: The association of VDR gene polymorphisms in CKD patients (N=147; males =100 (68.03%) and females=47 (31.97%)) is investigated in this study. The patient samples were compared with healthy control subjects (N=210; males: 130 (61.90%) and females: 80  38.10%)). Genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism method (PCR_RFLP). All the tatistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS and PLINK-software. Results: A significant difference in the genotype frequency of ApaI-“CC.. Read More»
