Vitamin D (VD) now considered a steroid hormone, has been correlated with male reproductive disorders. The activity of VD is mediated through its receptor (VDR), distributed in various tissues including reproductive tissues. VDR polymorphism located in the promoter region of the gene, rs17883968 (Cdx2) G → A associated with transcriptional activity. The aim of this study was to assess both seminal and serum VD levels in a group of infertile patients (n=87, media...
