Introduction: At present, it is believed that the genetic component is important in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. One of the candidate genes that are of major importance in the development of the disease is the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR). The association of its genetic polymorphisms, in particular Apal, with periodontitis in different populations of the world is proved. The aim: To study the association of the Apal-polymorphism VDR gene with the development of generalized periodontitis in the Ukrainian population. Materials and methods: Patient genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction with subsequent analysis of restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) from buccal epithelium 116 patients with generalized periodontitis (GP) and 67 individuals of control group. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS-17,0 program. Results: As a result of the performed studies, it was shown that in the group of patients with GP, the ratio of homozygous for the main allele (a/a), heterozygote (a/A) and homozygote for the minor allele (A/A) was 26 (22,4%), 62 (53,4%), 28 (24,2%), and in control group – 25 (37,3%), 27 (40,3%), 15 (22,4%), respectively. The distribution of genotypes in the comparison groups was not statistically significant (P = 0,084). By the method of binary logistic regression in the framework of the additive inheritance model (a/A vs a/a), a reliable relationship of the genotype with the Apal-polymorphism of the VDR gene was established with the development of generalized periodontitis (Р=0,029). It was shown that in heterozygotes (a/A) the risk of GP in 2,208 (95% CI = 1,084-4,496) times is higher than in homozygotes of the main allele (a/a). After adjusting for age, sex, smoking habit, BMI, the reliability of these results was maintained (P = 0,030). Conclusions: The ApaI-polymorphism of the VDR gene is associated with the development of generalized periodontitis in the Ukrainian population.

Objective. To determine the phenotypic manifestations of essential arterial hypertension (EAH) according to the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism (VDR rs10735810, rs2228570).Material and methods. The case-control study involved 100 patients with EAH stage II, 1-3 degrees of blood pressure (BP), high and very high cardiovascular risk, 21% (21) men, 79% (79) women. The mean age of patients was 59.86 ± 6.22 y.o. The control group consisted of 60 healthy individuals, comparable in age and gender. To study the VDR gene polymorphism (rs10735810, rs2228570) performed a qualitative polymerase chain reaction in real-time. Results. Almost half of the patients with elevated normal BP (44.4%) and 34% of patients with EAH 2-3 d. there is concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2, while for EAH 1 d. it is only 19%. Obesity of 1-3 degrees was shown in 53% of patients with EAH: average EAH of 1 d. - 21%, among the EAH 2-3 d. - 25%. In the control group, 16% suffered from obesity. The distribution of VDR gene polymorphism genotypes according to the presence of DM showed that it was present in 35% of patients with AA-genotype, which is 1.6 times more often than in patients with GG-genotype (22%). Most smokers among patients with GG-genotype (26%), which is twice as common as those with AA- and AG-genotype (13% and 14%, respectively). Obesity of 1-3 degrees most often met among carriers of GG-genotype - 74%, and in the control group 14%. An elevated level of waist-hip ratio (WHR) among women with EAH was in 80% of the AA-genotype carriers, in the control group, all women had normal values. In 76% of the AG-genotype carriers and in 81% of the GG-genotype carriers, the WHR was increased by 2.3 and 2.8 times, respectively, that in the control group. Deviations of systolic and diastolic BP according to the VDR gene polymorphic variants have not been established.Conclusions. The AA-genotype is associated with DM 2 and with elevated WHR in women; GG-genotype - with elevated BMI, especially in men.

Introduction. The polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is associated with bronchial asthma (BA). Based on this, studies on the prevalence of VDR polymorphism in representatives of different races and peoples with AD and in healthy people are timely.Aims. To determine the TaqI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene (TT, TS and CC) in children and adolescents with a verified diagnosis of AD on the example of the Kazakh population of Western Kazakhstan.Materials and methods. The study involved 54 Kazakh children with BA (Me age 12.8 years, fluctuations range 5–17 years). The control group consisted of residents of the same region without BA: Kazakhs – 66 children, Russians – 40 children. In each of these groups, children were born in the third generation of families without mixed marriages. The examination was performed by collecting venous blood with the informed consent of the legal representative of the child/adolescent. The samples were stored at a temperature of -80 ºC until the start of the analysis with further DNA sequencing and PCR at the INVITRO laboratory.Results. In Kazakh children without BA TT alleles were recorded in 57.6%, TC – in 34.8%, CC – in 7.6%. In Russian children without BA, the TT allele was found in 35.0%, TC – 55.0%, CC – 10%. In children of Kazakhs with BA, the TT allele was in 74.0% of cases, TC in 26.0%, and CC was absent. The first stage of the study with a limited number of observations did not allow obtaining a statistically significant difference between the individual indicated groups. However, taking into account the probable protective effect of the CC allele, the differences in the frequency of the TT alleles and in total TC and CC and CC and in total TT and TC turned out to be significant: 0.000 and 0.030, respectively. When studying the distribution of alleles within the groups, it turned out that for Kazakhs in the control group and, especially, in AD, a decrease in the frequencies of TC alleles and, most clearly, CC alleles is typical.Conclusion. The protective value of the CC allele cannot be ruled out. But it is not yet possible to formulate a final opinion on the functional significance of polymorphism. Further research will help to understand the relationship between the structural features of the VDR and BA.

Background. Urolithiasis is currently one of the topical issues of contemporary urology and medicine in general. This is primarily due to the high prevalence of urolithiasis; according to several population studies it ranges from 3.5 to 9.6%. At the same time, there is a steady increase in its incidence. Therefore, the matter of urolithiasis is one of the most urgent in present-day medicine. Objectives. The aim of the research was to study the content of a polymorphic genetic marker of the vitamin D receptor gene related to development and relapse of urolithiasis in children. Methods. The content of a polymorphic genetic marker of the vitamin D receptor gene related to development and relapse of urolithiasis in 100 children was investigated. Results. The results of the study prove that the vitamin D receptor gene assists in revealing disorders that promote urolithiasis development. Conclusion. Comparative analysis of the frequency of distribution of Fok1 genotypes of the vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism showed that statistical significance of the association (p=0.02) of f allele according to the dominant inheritance model (total Ff+ff genotypes) was established in the group of patients with urolithiasis compare to the corresponding indicator of the control group (63%).

Evaluation of bone mineralization and bone metabolism in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in accordance with TaqI-polymorphic genotypes of vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been performed in this study. 83 children (38 girls and 54 boys) with IBD (60 with Crohn’s disease, 23 with ulcerative colitis) have been included in the study. Mean age was 13.0 years (11.0; 15.5). All patients have active phase of the disease. Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (DEXA) have been assessed in all children. Level of serum osteocalcin (OC) as a marker of osteosynthesis, C-terminal telopeptides (CTT) as a marker of osteoresorbtion, parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and 25(OH) vitamin D was measured to evaluate bone metabolism. Molecular-genetic tests: analysis of TaqI (rs731236) polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) was perfomed by polymerase chain reaction with following restriction analysis. Association between molecular markers of VDR gene and bone metabolism and mineralization disturbances have been found. TT genotype of VDR gene was associated with tendency to decrease of linear growth velocity, low linear growth, decrease in osteosynthesis and increase of osteoresorbtion in this group of children. TT-genotype of TaqI-polymorphism of VDR gene can be assessed as a risk factor of bone metabolism disturbances in children with both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. C allele seems to have protective role in this group.

Introduction. The development of chronic allergic inflammation of the respiratory tract is determined by various genes. It is assumed that the clinical features of the course of bronchial asthma may be associated with singlet polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor.Аim. To analyze the frequency of occurrence of polymorphic variants of the VDR-63980G>A gene and evaluate their association with the features of the development and course of bronchial asthma in children.Materials and methods. To study the association of the VDR-63980G>A gene polymorphism with bronchial asthma in children, 154 patients with bronchial asthma aged 1 to 18 years and 116 healthy subjects were selected. The objective status of the patients was assessed with the clarification of the anamnesis, standard laboratory and instrumental examination. Single nucleotide substitutions were typed by polymerase chain reaction with real-time detection of the results. The genotype distribution was evaluated using the “Gen-Expert” program.Results. As a result of the association analysis, the relationship of VDR-63980G>A with bronchial asthma in children was established. The presence of genotype -63980AA of the VDR gene increases the risk of developing bronchial asthma in a child by 1.85 times (OR=1.85, [CI 1.02-3.38]; χ 2=4.22, p=0.04). The homozygous genotype -63980GG was more common in the control group – in 49.5% versus 45.4% against the sick children. The genotype of the minor homozygote -63980AA is associated with the early onset of the disease, pronounced obstructive pulmonary ventilation disorders.Conclusion. The association of genotype -63980AA of the VDR gene with the risk of asthma development in preschool children was revealed.

Abstract Objective The vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms and the risk of various infections have been studied. An association with brucellosis and vitamin D levels has been investigated but not yet with VDR gene polymorphisms. We aimed to examine the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to childhood brucellosis. Methods This case–control study included patients with brucellosis and healthy controls. After extracting genomic DNA using a Qiagen blood DNA isolation kit, five VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including Cdx-2, FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI gene, were amplified. Genetic distribution of these SNPs of VDR gene in patient and control groups were compared. Results A total of 38 patients with brucellosis and 89 healthy controls were evaluated. The genotype distribution of Cdx2, FokI, BsmI, and ApaI polymorphisms were similar between patients and healthy controls. However, the CC homozygous genotype for VDR gene TaqI was significantly overexpressed in patients compared with controls (23.7 vs. 7.9%; p = 0.042). The frequency of the C allele of the TaqI genotype was significantly different between patients and controls (p = 0.018). On the other hand, presence of the A allele in the BsmI was associated considerably with an increased risk of brucellosis (p = 0.037). VDR polymorphism distribution was similar according to age, presence of complicated disease, and presence of bacteremia. The heterozygote TaqI polymorphism was more common in patients presented as subacute and chronic symptoms (p = 0.036). Conclusion Our results indicated the possible role in TaqI polymorphism of the VDR gene for the risk of brucellosis at the time of exposure to infection.
