Figure 2. VDR gene analysis performed by using MiSeq next-generation sequencing platform, a Food and Drug Administration-approved diagnostic system (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). The gee has 11 exons and NM-001017535(VDR): p.R50* (c.148 C>T) is causing a premature stop codon in exon 5. This variation causes a truncated protein and severe damage on protein function.
