Table I. List of forward and reverse primers used for PCR amplification of the exons 1-9 of vitamin D receptor gene.

*Chromosomal locations and exon sequences were obtained from UCSC database. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/gdv/browser/?context=gene&acc=7421). For accuracy, the primer sequences were checked using USSC In-Silico PCR tool (https://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgPcr). bp, Base pair.
