VDR and rheumatoid arthritis: The AAC haplotype composed by the A allele of rs1544410, A allele of rs7975232 and C allele of rs731236 was associated with an increased risk of CAD in type 2 diabetes subjects reported by Ferrarezi et al. [35], furthermore, a VDR GATG haplotype (G allele of rs731236, A allele of rs7975232, T allele of rs1544410 and G allele of rs2228570) was found to be associated with atherosclerotic disease in rheumatoid arthritis patients [55].
