VDR and ovarian carcinoma: In a previous manuscript, we reported an overall null association between four common polymorphisms in the VDR gene (Bsm1, Apa1, Taq1, and Fok1) and risk of ovarian cancer [26], although a retrospective multiethnic study of 313 cases and 574 controls [27] and a large pooled analysis including 1473 cases and 2006 controls from four studies (one retrospective case-control study and three case-control studies nested in prospective cohorts) [28] found an association with the Fok1 SNP among Caucasian women.
