FIGURE 1.
Genomic region and exon-intron structure of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. (The VDR gene is placed on human chromosome 12q13.11, contains nine exons and encompasses various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including FokI (F/f), BsmI (B/b), ApaI (A/a), TaqI (T/t). The presence of a T/C transition polymorphism (ATG to ACG) at the first of two potential translation initiation sites in exon II).
