The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) genetic polymorphism and lung cancer risk has been evaluated by the previous meta-analyses. Due to the emergence of novel studies and inappropriate inclusion of overlapping populations, an updated meta-analysis on recent evidences is necessarily needed. We comprehensively searched databases of PubMed, Web of Science and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and finally obtained 7 eligible studies according to the inclusion criteria. Four positions on VDR gene, namely ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410), FokI (rs10735810) and TaqI (rs731236), were considered in this investigation. Data pooling found no significant association of lung cancer risk with ApaI or FokI. In contrast, it was indicated that the BsmI A allele was negatively related to the lung cancer risk, compared with the G allele (OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.33-0.79). Individuals with BsmI AA (OR = 0.53, 95% CI = 0.26-1.11) and AG genotypes (OR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.30−0.71) showed decreased risk of lung cancer, compared with those of GG genotype. Regarding the TaqI polymorphism, the T allele carriers were at increased risk of lung cancer (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.04-1.50). Compared with the TaqI TC+CC genotype, the TT genotype was positively associated with lung cancer risk (OR = 1.42, 95% CI = 1.11-1.82). No publication bias was identified in any of the analysis. In conclusion, VDR genetic polymorphism may be correlated to lung cancer risk. Given limited number of the included studies, more observations are warranted to draw a safer conclusion.

Introduction: Several studies have assessed the association between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism and risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, the results were inconsistent and inconclusive. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to clarify the exact association between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and the risk of MetS. Methods: All accessible studies reporting the association between the FokI (rs2228570) or / and TaqI (rs731236) or/and BsmI (rs1544410) or/and ApaI (rs7975232 polymorphisms of the Vitamin D Receptor and susceptibility to MetS published prior to February 2019 were systematically searched in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. After that, Odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to evaluate the strength of the association in five genetic models. Results: A total of 9 articles based on four gene variations, and comprising 3348 participants with 1779 metabolic syndrome patients were included. The overall results suggested a significant association between BsmI (rs1544410) polymorphism and MetS susceptibility in recessive model (OR, 0.72, 95% CI, 0.55-0.95, fixed effect model), allelic model (OR, 0.83, 95% CI, 0.72-0.95, fixed effect model), and bb vs BB (OR, 0.65, 95% CI, 0.46-0.93, fixed effect). However, no significant association was identified between TaqI (rs731236) polymorphism, ApaI (rs7975232) polymorphism, and FokI (rs2228570) polymorphism and MetS. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggested an association between the BsmI (rs1544410) polymorphism and MetS. Indeed, BsmI (rs1544410) acts as a protective factor in the MetS. As a result, the VDR gene could be regarded as a promising pharmacological and physiological target in prevention or treatment of the MetS.

Abstract Background: Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of deaths worldwide. The deficiency of vitamin D was reported to be associated with the increased susceptibility of tuberculosis. Various previous reports were published to check the association of FokI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene with tuberculosis risk. But their results were inconsistent so, we performed a meta-analysis to know the exact relation of the two.Methods: Different databases were screened up to November, 2020 with the keywords “Vitamin D receptor”, “VDR”, and “FokI”, along with “Tuberculosis” and “TB” to find the suitable articles. All the statistical analyses were performed by the Open Meta-Analyst program and all p-values were two-tailed with a significance level of 0.05.Results: No statistically significant association was observed in the allele contrast model (ORfvs.F= 1.11, 95%CI= 0.99-1.24, p= 0.05, I2= 73.46%), in the dominant model (ORff+Ffvs.FF= 1.11, 95%CI= 0.96-1.28, p= 0.14, I2= 71.39%), and in the co-dominant model (ORFfvs.FF= 1.05, 95%CI= 0.92-1.21, p= 0.41, I2= 65.97%). However, a significant association was found in the homozygote model (ORffvs.FF= 1.32, 95%CI= 1.03-1.69, p= 0.02, I2= 67.02%) and in the recessive model (ORFF+Ff vs.ff= 1.26, 95%CI= 1.03-1.54, p= 0.02, I2= 58.01%). Further analysis was performed on the bases of the ethnicity. In Asian population a significant association was found in the homozygote model (ORffvs.FF= 1.57, 95%CI= 1.12-2.21, p= 0.008, I2= 70.37%) and in the recessive model (ORFF+Ff vs.ff= 1.43, 95%CI= 1.08-1.89, p= 0.01, I2= 63.13%).Conclusion: In conclusion, a significant association of FokI with tuberculosis susceptibility was found in the overall analysis and in the Asian population.

Abstract It is still unclear whether there was an association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This meta analysis including 19 studies were performed using Stata software. In our analysis, VDR ApaI polymorphism was correlated with SLE susceptibility in general populations (AA vs aa: P=0.003; AA+Aa vs aa: P=0.000). VDR gene ApaI and BsmI polymorphism were correlated with SLE susceptibility in Caucasian populations (BB vs Bb+bb: p=0.005; B vs b: P=0.026; AA vs aa: P =0.038). VDR BsmI and FokI polymorphism were correlated with SLE in African populations (BB+Bb vs bb: P=0.000; FF vs Ff +ff: P=0.000; F vs f: P=0.000; FF vs ff: P=0.000; FF+Ff vs ff: P=0.000). VDR ApaI polymorphism was correlated with SLE in Asian populations (AA+Aa vs aa) when stratified by race. Additionly, ApaI polymorphism was correlated with SLE in female subjects (AA vs aa: P =0.022) when stratified by gender. But there was no association between VDR TaqI polymorphism and SLE susceptibility in our analysis.

Background There have been studies focused on FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus with controversial results. Methods This present study is a meta-analysis investigating the association between FokI, ApaI, TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms of VDR gene and type 1 DM in children. A literature search was performed using Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane and PubMed. Any study was considered eligible for inclusion if at least one of FokI, ApaI, TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms was determined, and outcome was type 1 DM at pediatric age. Results A total of 9 studies comprising 1053 patients and 1017 controls met the study inclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) of the FokI, ApaI, TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms were combined and calculated. Forest plots and funnel plots of the OR value distributions were drawn. Our meta-analysis has demonstrated statistically significant associations between DM1 and VDR genotypes, BsmIBB (P < 0.05), BsmIBb, (P < 0.05), BsmIbb (P < 0.05), TaqITT (P < 0.05) and TaqItt (P < 0.05) in children. Conclusion The results indicated that BsmIBB, BsmIBb and TaqItt polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of type 1 DM, whereas BsmIbb and TaqITT had protective effect for type 1 DM in children.
