Project description:The association between FokI polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and susceptibility to arterial hypertension (HT) is controversial. Thus, we evaluated the relation between FokI and HT according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using MEDLINE® (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online)/PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library CENTRAL databases. Data from case-control studies, including the number of participants, age, 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations, systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, FokI allele, and genotype frequency were extracted by 2 independent authors and OR was calculated with the 95% CI to assess the strength of the association between the FokI variant and odds of HT. In general and subgroup analyses, we used allelic (f compared with F), common (ff compared with FF + Ff), risk (ff + Ff compared with FF), and additive (ff compared with FF) models. Six case-control studies including 3140 cases and 3882 controls were reviewed in the meta-analysis. Global assessment revealed a correlation between FokI and reduced odds of HT in the additive/homozygote model (ff compared with FF; OR: 0.65; 95% CI: 0.45-0.94) and common/recessive model (ff compared with FF + Ff; OR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.57-0.99). In Asian subjects, there was a significant reduction in the odds of HT in additive (ff compared with FF; OR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.73-0.98) and risk models (ff + Ff compared with FF; OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78-0.97), in particular, for Indians (South). In Africans, the statistically significant association occurred in the additive and common models. Allele f in the FokI polymorphism of the VDR gene was associated with reduced odds of HT in the general population based on the risk model. Thus, nutritional genomics can help understand the influence of nutrition on metabolic homeostasis pathways and the clinical consequences of hypertension. This study shows the need for healthy, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant compounds to prevent or treat chronic complications.

Project description:The influence of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene for the risk of osteoporosis remains to be elucidated. The aim of the present study was to understand the distribution of various single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the VDR gene and its association with the risk of osteoporosis. In total, 378 subjects without a genetic relationship were recruited to the study between January 2013 and July 2015. The subjects were divided into three groups, which were the normal (n=234), osteoporosis (n=65) and osteoporosis with osteoporotic fracture (n=79) groups. Three pertinent SNPs of the VDR gene rs17879735 (ApaI, Allele A/a, SNP C>A) were examined with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (L2-L4), femoral neck, Ward's and Tro was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The distributions of genotype frequencies aa, AA and Aa were 48.68, 42.86 and 8.46%, separately. Following analysis of each site, BMD, body mass index (BMI) and age, BMD for each site was negatively correlated with age (P<0.01) and positively correlated with BMI (P<0.01). Correction analysis revealed that there were significant differences in the Ward's triangle BMD among each genotype (P<0.05), in which the aa genotype exhibited the lower BMD (P<0.05). No significant difference was identified among the different genotypes in the occurrence of osteoporosis with osteoporotic fracture (P>0.05). In conclusion, these indicated that the VDR gene ApaI polymorphisms had an important role in the osteoporosis risk.

Project description:The association between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension (EH) remains controversial. We searched databases (Cochrane Library, EBSCO, EMBASE, LILACS, ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer) for studies on VDR gene polymorphisms and EH until May 30, 2024, following PRISMA guidelines. RevMan 5.4.1 provided pooled odds ratio (OR) under Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium based on allele, additive, dominant, and recessive genetic models. Meta-regression was performed using Comprehensive Meta Analysis V3. Twenty-two studies from thirteen countries were analyzed. The recessive model suggested lower EH risk in individuals with the recessive allele (bb) of BsmI (OR: 0.81; 95%CI, 0.69 to 0.94, p = 0.007; I2 = 35%, p = 0.13). No significant associations were found for FokI, ApaI, and TaqI polymorphisms. Methodological quality significantly influenced EH risk associated with the FokI polymorphism across allele, additive, and dominant models (All p<0.0005). Male proportion influenced EH risk in the additive model for the FokI polymorphism (p = 0.0235), while age impacted risk in the recessive model (p = 0.0327). FokI polymorphism's influence on EH risk varies by sex, age, and study quality. BsmI polymorphism is independently associated with lower EH risk in recessive homozygotes, with no significant associations found for ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms.

Project description:BackgroundVitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are involved in a variety of immune-related diseases, and VDR is associated with allergic rhinitis. The present study explored the associations between VDR gene polymorphisms and allergic rhinitis in the Chinese population.MethodsThe study population consisted of 400 patients with allergic rhinitis and 400 healthy controls. General characteristics were determined by interview. Blood DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed via matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The associations of each genetic variant with risk for AR were assessed by calculating the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI).ResultsNo significant differences were observed in general characteristics between cases and controls. The distributions of genotypes at the rs2228570 locus of the VDR gene conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There was a significant difference in the distribution of rs2228570 genotype (P<0.001) between cases and controls. Compared to GG and GA genotypes, the AA genotype increased the risk of AR (OR=3.27, 95% CI: 2.10-5.11, P=0.000; OR=2.58, 95% CI:1.63-4.08, P<0.001). Similar results were also observed in the dominant model (OR=1.64, 95% CI:1.24-2.17, P<0.001) and codominant model (OR=2.95, 95% CI:1.93-4.51, P<0.001). The A allele was still associated with elevated risk gene for AR after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Subgroup analyses indicated an interaction between alcohol and rs2228570 in the risk of allergic rhinitis. The A allele also increased the risk for AR in the population without asthma (OR=1.85, 95% CI:1.46-2.34, P<0.001).ConclusionVDR gene polymorphism is associated with AR, and the AA genotype of rs2228570 is associated with the increased risk of AR in the Chinese population.

Project description:BsmI (rs1544410) polymorphism located in intron 8 at the 3'-end of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is known to be involved in the regulation of mRNA stability. Many studies evaluated the possible correlation between VDR BsmI polymorphism and the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and reported conflicting results. In the present study, an updated meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the above-said association. PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar web-databases were searched for the relevant studies and a meta-analysis was performed by calculating pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for all the genetic models. A total of 19 studies comprising 3644 controls and 2635 cases were included in the present study. Overall no association of PTB in allelic contrast (b compared with B: P=0.285; OR =0.909, 95% CI =0.762-1.083), homozygous (bb compared with BB: P=0.881; OR =0.975, 95% CI =0.700-1.359), heterozygous (bB compared with BB: P=0.834; OR =1.017, 95% CI =0.872-1.185), dominant (bb compared with BB + Bb: P=0.451; OR =0.954, 95% CI =0.843-1.079) and recessive (bb + Bb compared with BB: P=0.983; OR =1.002, 95% CI =0.868-1.156) genetic models in comparison with wild-type allele and genotype BB were observed. However, variant allele (b compared with B: P=0.001; OR =2.289, 95% CI =1.661-3.154) showed increased risk of PTB in Asians. In conclusion, VDR BsmI polymorphism is not a risk factor for PTB in overall population. However, this polymorphism may be interrelated to an increased risk of PTB amongst Asians.

Project description:Background & aimsThis research aimed to determine how variations in the vitamin D receptor gene affected the response of H. pylori infections to eradication therapy.Patients and methodsOn 105 adult H. Pylori-positive patients, a prospective cohort study was carried out. PCR was used to genotype all patients' VDR gene polymorphisms. The patients in the study received standard triple eradication medication (clarithromycin 500 mg, amoxicillin 1000 mg, and omeprazole 20 mg) twice daily for 14 days. A stool test for H. pylori Ag was conducted 4 weeks following the end of treatment.ResultsIn our study, the usual triple therapy's H. pylori eradication rate was 75.2%. The successful eradication of H. pylori and VDR rs 2228570 gene polymorphisms was more prevalent in CT gene polymorphism (64.6%) compared to non-responders (19.2%), while treatment failure was more prevalent in CC gene polymorphism (73.1% in non-responders compared to responders 24.1%), which is statistically significant. In regards to the eradication of H. pylori and VDR rs7975232 gene polymorphisms, the success of eradication was more prevalent in AC gene polymorphism (54.4%) vs non-responders (30.4%), while all patients (14) with gene AA (17.7%) are responders to standard treatment, while the failure of treatment was more prevalent in CC gene polymorphism (69.2% in non-responder vs 27.8% in responders) which is statistically significant. Our findings demonstrated a strong correlation between patients' responses to H. pylori treatment and polymorphisms in the VDR gene (ApaI and TaqI) (P 0.05).ConclusionAs far as we are aware, this is the first study to identify a potential link between the FokI and Apal VDR polymorphism and treatment response in H pylori-positive patients. To evaluate the findings, more research with larger number of patients and different population is required.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and hypertension in a Chinese Han population. The authors genotyped 3 tagSNPs (rs11574129, rs2228570, and rs739837) of the VDR gene using TaqMan assays in a case-control study including 2409 patients with hypertension and 3063 controls. The results showed that rs2228570 presented statistical correlations with decreased risk of male hypertension after adjustment for confounding factors, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of additive, dominant, and recessive models were 0.828 (0.74-0.927), 0.75 (0.631-0.89), and 0.816 (0.67-0.995), and P values were .001, .001, and .044, respectively. Significant associations were found in the smoking population and ORs (95% CIs) of additive and dominant models were 0.81 (0.69-0.952) and 0.71 (0.552-0.913) (P values .011 and .008), respectively, after adjustment for covariates. Quantitative trait analysis indicated that the untreated cases with TT genotype of rs2228570 showed higher systolic blood pressure compared with the TC/CC genotype (P=.015). Our findings suggest that VDR genetic polymorphism rs2228570 is significantly associated with the decreased risk of hypertension in Chinese men and smokers.

Project description:Although evidence exists for a causal association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) serum levels, and multiple sclerosis (MS), the role of variation in vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding in MS is unknown. Here, we leveraged previously identified variants associated with allele imbalance in VDR binding (VDR-binding variant; VDR-BV) in ChIP-exo data from calcitriol-stimulated lymphoblastoid cell lines and 25(OH)D serum levels from genome-wide association studies to construct genetic instrumental variables (GIVs). GIVs are composed of one or more genetic variants that serve as proxies for exposures of interest. Here, GIVs for both VDR-BVs and 25(OH)D were used in a two-sample Mendelian Randomization study to investigate the relationship between VDR binding at a locus, 25(OH)D serum levels, and MS risk. Data for 13,598 MS cases and 38,887 controls of European ancestry from Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Swedish MS studies, and the UK Biobank were included. We estimated the association between each VDR-BV GIV and MS. Significant interaction between a VDR-BV GIV and a GIV for serum 25OH(D) was evidence for a causal association between VDR-BVs and MS unbiased by pleiotropy. We observed evidence for associations between two VDR-BVs (rs2881514, rs2531804) and MS after correction for multiple tests. There was evidence of interaction between rs2881514 and a 25(OH)D GIV, providing evidence of a causal association between rs2881514 and MS. This study is the first to demonstrate evidence that variation in VDR binding at a locus contributes to MS risk. Our results are relevant to other autoimmune diseases in which vitamin D plays a role.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene represents a strong positional candidate susceptibility gene for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The VDR gene maps to a region on chromosome 12 that has been shown to be linked to IBD by genome screening techniques. It is the cellular receptor for 1,25(OH)(2) vitamin D(3) (calcitriol) which has a wide range of different regulatory effects on the immune system. IBD is characterised by activation of the mucosal immune system. AIM: To determine if polymorphisms in the VDR gene are associated with susceptibility to IBD SUBJECTS: European Caucasoids: 158 patients with ulcerative colitis, 245 with Crohn's disease, and 164 cadaveric renal allograft donor controls. METHOD: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (TaqI, ApaI, and FokI) in VDR were typed in patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and controls by polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers. RESULTS: There were significantly more homozygotes for the TaqI polymorphism at codon 352 of exon 8 (genotype "tt") among patients with Crohn's disease (frequency 0.22) than patients with ulcerative colitis (0.12) or controls (0.12) (odds ratio 1.99; 95% confidence interval 1.14-3.47; p=0.017). CONCLUSION: This study provides preliminary evidence for a genetic association between Crohn's disease susceptibility and a gene that lies within one of the candidate regions determined by linkage analysis.
