Genetic studies have shown that VitD is linked to ALS pathology through the regulation of various immune components such as toll-like receptors, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) [81]. The gene discussed is HMOX1; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
