Background The association between polymorphisms in vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) gene and the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been investigated in many studies, but the studies showed controversial results. The rationale for this meta-analysis was to determine whether DBP polymorphisms increases the risk of MS and T1DM by pooling data. Methods Potentially relevant studies were searched using GWAS Catalog, PubMed, Embase, CNKI and WANFANG databases up to November 2019. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed to estimate the associations in a fixed-effects or random-effects model. Results A total of 13 studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis, including eight studies for MS and five for T1DM. The overall results showed that there was no significant association of DBP rs7041 and rs4588 polymorphisms with the risk of MS and T1DM under any genetic model. Similarly, subgroup analysis by ethnicity revealed that no significant association of rs7041 and rs4588 polymorphisms with the risk of MS and T1DM was observed in white or non-white racial groups. Conclusions This meta-analysis provides evidence that DBP rs7041 and rs4588 polymorphisms may not be associated with an increased risk in MS and T1DM. However, these findings need further validation by larger-scale epidemiological studies and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in different populations.

Abstract Objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common complication in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The purposes of the present study were to explore clinical correlates of serum vitamin D level in Chinese children with type 1 diabetes.Methods: A total of 143 inpatients (boys/girls = 60/83) were recruited from Tianjin Children’s Hospital. Their demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. These patients were divided into the non-DKA group(n=43) and DKA group(n=100).Results: The positive ZnT8-ab was significantly higher in DKA patients compared with non-DKA patients (p=0.038). There was a negative correlation between plasma glucose and the concentration of vitamin D(r =−0.188, p=0.024), although there was no significant difference in vitamin D between two groups of T1DM patients with or without DKA (p=0.317). The multiple logistic regression revealed that sex(male) and BMI were independent risk factors to predict the deficiency or insufficiency of Vitamin D in T1DM children. When BMI is lower than 16 kg/m2 according to the cut-off value of the ROC curve, it provides some implications of Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency in TIDM children ( 95%CI:0.534~0.721, P=0.014). Conclusions: Our results suggested that positive ZnT8-ab was associated with a greater risk of DKA at T1DM onset. Additionally, neither vitamin D levels nor the proportion of patients with different levels of vitamin D differed between the two groups inT1DM children with or without DKA. Furthermore, Vitamin D level was negatively correlated with plasma glucose, lower BMI and male children with T1DM were prone to be deficient or insufficient of Vitamin D.

Background To investigate the relationship 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) level among children and in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods A case–control study was conducted to compare the serum 25OHD levels between cases and controls. This study recruited 296 T1DM children (106 newly diagnosed T1DM patients and 190 established T1DM patients), and 295 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects as controls. Results The mean serum 25OHD in T1DM children was 48.69 ± 15.26 nmol/L and in the controls was 57.93 ± 19.03 nmol/L. The mean serum 25OHD in T1DM children was lower than that of controls (P < 0.01). The mean serum 25OHD level (50.42 ± 14.74 nmol/L) in the newly diagnosed T1DM children was higher than that (47.70 ± 15.50 nmol/L) in the established T1DM children but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.16). HbA1c values were associated with 25OHD levels in established T1DM children (r = 0.264, P < 0.01), and there was no association between 25OHD and HbA1c in newly diagnosed T1DM children (r = 0.164; P > 0.05). Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency is common in T1DM children, and it should be worthy of attention on the lack of vitamin D in established T1DM children.

In this prospective controlled study, we examined 25 adults with adequately controlled (HbA1c level < 8.0%) type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and 49 conditionally healthy adults, intending to reveal the diversity of vitamin D metabolism in the setting of cholecalciferol intake at a therapeutic dose. All patients received a single dose (150,000 IU) of cholecalciferol aqueous solution orally. Laboratory assessments including serum vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3), free 25(OH)D, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as serum and urine biochemical parameters were performed before the intake and on Days 1, 3 and 7 after the administration. The studied groups had no significant differences in baseline parameters except that the patients with diabetes showed higher baseline levels of free 25(OH)D (p < 0.05). They also lacked a correlation between the measured and calculated free 25(OH)D in contrast to the patients from the control group (r = 0.41, p > 0.05 vs. r = 0.88, p < 0.05), possibly due to the glycosylation of binding proteins, which affects the affinity constant for 25(OH)D. The elevation of vitamin D levels after the administration of cholecalciferol was comparable in both groups, with slightly higher 25(OH)D3 levels observed in the diabetes group throughout the study since Day 1 (p < 0.05). Overall, our data indicate that in patients with adequately controlled T1DM 25(OH)D3 levels and the therapeutic response to cholecalciferol is similar to that in healthy individuals.
