Abstract Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is involved in multiple immune-mediated disorders including Oral lichen planus (OLP). This study was aimed to investigate the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and the risk of OLP. 177 OLP patients and 207 healthy participants were recruited from Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology, Nanjing Medical University. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: rs731236, rs739837, rs757343, rs2107301, rs2239185, rs7975232, rs11574129 and rs11568820) on the VDR gene were selected and genotyped. The results showed that the OLP risk was increased in subjects with the rs2239185 TT genotype (Recessive model: adjusted OR = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.28-5.62, P = 0.009) and rs7975232 CC genotype (Recessive model: adjusted OR = 2.25, 95% CI = 1.10-4.58, P = 0.026). And the significant cumulative effects on OLP risk were found in rs2239185 and rs7975232 (P < 0.01). The haplotype analysis showed that haplotype CC (rs2239185-rs7975232) was associated with increased OLP risk (OR =3.11, 95% CI = 1.42-6.83, P = 0.005), compared with haplotype AC. In conclusion, the variants of VDR rs2239185 and rs7975232 may influence the OLP susceptibility and VDR gene polymorphisms may be the candidate susceptibility region of OLP in Chinese Han population.

Abstract Objective To investigate the association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms with OA susceptibility. Methods Meta-analyses were performed using allelic contrast, contrast of homozygotes, and recessive and dominant models to clarify the association between OA and VDR ApaI, BsmI, TaqI and FokI polymorphisms. Odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% CI were obtained, and subgroup analyses were performed based on the ethnicity and OA sites. Results A total of 18 studies with 2983 OA patients and 4177 controls were included in this meta-analysis. There were statistically significant associations in the spine between OA susceptibility and the VDR BsmI (B vs b: OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.53, P = 0.026; BB vs bb: OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.37, P = 0.038) and TaqI (T vs t: OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.54, 0.99, P = 0.044; TT vs Tt + tt: OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.95, P = 0.028) polymorphisms, but not for the other polymorphisms. A statistically significant association was found between the VDR FokI polymorphism and OA susceptibility in the knee in the recessive model contrast (FF vs Ff + ff: OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.95, P = 0.028), but this result was only pooled from one study. However, no significant associations were found between the VDR ApaI polymorphism and OA. Besides, ethnic stratification also indicated that there was no significant association between VDR gene polymorphism and OA in Caucasians or Asians. Conclusion Our meta-analysis suggests that the VDR BsmI and TaqI polymorphisms are associated with OA susceptibility in the spine. However, the VDR ApaI polymorphism is not a significant genetic risk factor for OA.

Abstract Background Vitamin D deficiency is associated with cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery diseases (CAD). As vitamin D manifests its biological function through its vitamin D receptor (VDR), VDR gene polymorphisms potentially affect VDR functionality and vitamin D activity. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze three well-studied VDR gene polymorphisms—Fok1 (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410) and Taq1 (rs731236)—in a cohort of CAD patients after acute myocardial infarction. Methods In the presented cross-sectional study, 155 participants with CAD after acute myocardial infarction and 104 participants in a control group without CAD were enrolled. The participants in both groups were Caucasians of European origin. The genotyping of VDR polymorphisms rs2228570, rs1544410 and rs731236 was assessed by RT-PCR. Results The results show an association between the T/T genotype of the BsmI (rs1544410) and the G/G genotype of the Taq1 (rs731236) VDR polymorphism and CAD patients after acute myocardial infarction. There was no association between the Fok1 (rs2228570) VDR polymorphism and CAD patients after acute myocardial infarction. Conclusion The presented results suggest a potential association of the BsmI (rs1544410) and Taq1 (rs731236) VDR polymorphisms with CAD patients after myocardial infarction.

Objective. It has been stated that brain cancers are an increasingly serious issue in many parts of the world. The aim of our study was to determine a possible relationship between Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and the risk of glioma and meningioma.Methods. We investigated the VDR Taq-I and VDR Fok-I gene polymorphisms in 100 brain cancer patients (including 44 meningioma cases and 56 glioma cases) and 122 age-matched healthy control subjects. This study was performed by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RF LP).Results. VDR Fok-I ff genotype was significantly increased in meningioma patients (15.9%) compared with controls (2.5%), and carriers of Fok-I ff genotype had a 6.47-fold increased risk for meningioma cases. There was no significant difference between patients and controls for VDR Taq-I genotypes and alleles.Conclusions. We suggest that VDR Fok-I genotypes might affect the development of meningioma.
