Vitamin D status in Dupuytren's disease: Association with clinical status and vitamin D

were found to be low in patients with DD. Expression of VDR was lower in the vitamin D deficient group. Conclusions: The results suggest a potential link between vitamin D status and DD but causation is not yet established. The potential role of vitamin D and its interaction with VDR and the TGF-,81 signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of DD needs to be explored further.
