Background: Previously, we reported an association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) risk. The aim of the present study was to investigate other vitamin D pathway genes such as CYP27B1, CYP2R1 and CYP24A1 which code for enzymes that, respectively, synthesize and degrade 1,25(OH)2D3 in patients with DTC and healthy controls (HC). Also its influence on 25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 ...
