Results on the association of Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) susceptibility from the present reports are still debating. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association of VDR ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410), TaqI (rs731236), and Fok1 (rs2228570) gene polymorphisms with RCC risk.
