Abstract

Vitamin D receptors are expressed on a wide variety of tissues, including immune cells. Polymorphisms of their genes have been linked to a number of diseases, including IBD and colorectal cancer. Vitamin D insufficiency has been reported to occur in up to 75% of individuals with Crohn's disease and 35% of patients with ulcerative colitis. Vitamin D counteracts Th1 responses, which drive proinflammatory pathways in IBD. Studies have shown a consistent link between the presence of vitamin D and either improved parameters or delayed development of colitis.
