Background: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is present on adipocytes, and many studies were carried out to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VDR gene with obesity. However, little is known about the role of VDR gene polymorphism with obesity in dialysis patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate lipid profile and VDR gene TaqI, ApaI and FokI SNPs in overweight/obese dialysis patients.Methods: Seventy one normal weig...
