Evaluation of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (ApaI and TaqI) as risk factors of vitiligo and predictors of response to narrowband UVB phototherapy

Vitiligo is acquired depigmentation due to multiple factors. Vitamin D in skin, through its receptors (VDR), regulates cell growth, differentiation, immune response and exerts both stimulatory and protective effects on melanocytes. The gene sequence encoding VDR has polymorphic forms such as ApaI an...
