The association of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) and its receptor, vitamin D receptor (VDR), with cancer types have been studied. However, there are controversial findings regarding the association of specific VDR polymorphisms with different kinds of cancers. In the current study, we investigated the association of VDR polymorphisms (Fok1 (rs2228570), ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410), and TaqI (rs731236)) with the risk of gastric cancer in a Kurdish population of Kermanshah in Iran for the first time.
