Aim. Previous studies have suggested an influence of vitamin D receptor polymorphisms on the development of autoimmune thyroid disease in different ethnic populations. We aimed to investigate the distribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR) alleles in a group of Turkish patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
