Background: Numerous diabetes susceptibility loci, include a region consisting vitamin D receptor gene found in chromo- some 12q, have been known using genome wide screens. Aim: The aim of present study is to probe the relationship between polymorphism of vitamin D receptor gene (single nu- cleotide polymorphisms) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Five hundred T2DM patients and 200 healthy subjects with normal HbA1c( ≤ 5.0 %), fasting blood sugar (≤ 120 mg/dL) and random blood sugar (≤ 140 mg/dL) were enrolled. Metholodgy: The genotypes were found by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing. Results: revealed that no considerable differences in frequencies of genotype and allele of the Bsm I and Fok I polymor- phisms between healthy and patients in the North England (For Fok I: OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.72–1.12; for Bsm I: OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 0.79–1.98). Conclusion: It is recommended that both following polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor gene may not considerably add to the progression of T2DM in the North England. Keywords: T2DM; DNA Sequencing; Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP); Single nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP);VDR.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global problem. Association of multiple genes in T2DM becomes a hot point recently. This study was aimed to evaluate association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to T2DM. Subjects and methods: One hundred T2DM Saudi male patients were included in this study and one hundred healthy Saudi men were used as control. For each individual, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, HbA1c, insulin and 25-(OH) vitamin D were measured. In addition, Apal, BsmI and TaqI genotypes were performed for each subject. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 16, using Spearman's rho and ANOVA tests. Results: There was significant inverse correlation between 25-(OH) vitamin D level and T2DM (p<0.01). HbA1c was inversely correlated with 25-(OH) vitamin D level (P<0.05). Genotype study showed that tt of TaqI genotype was higher in T2DM group compared with control group (p<0.05). Moreover, tt genotype has higher HbA1c than both TT and Tt genotypes (p<0.05). Conclusion: An association was confirmed between TaqI genotypes and T2DM but there is no correlation between BsmI, ApaI and T2DM. In addition, HbA1c is positively correlated with tt genotype of TaqI.Keywords: Vitamin D receptor, diabetes type 2, polymorphism.

ABSTRACTObjective: Polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor (VDR) genes are known to be linked with different metabolic diseases including Type 2 diabetesmellitus (T2DM) also. However, the association of these polymorphisms is not much explored for the Indian population. To determine the prevalenceof BsmI and TaqI polymorphism in VDR gene of T2DM patients from North India.Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 100 well-characterized T2DM patients and 100 healthy controls. Genomic DNA was isolated from bloodsamples and using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism based method, the presence of these polymorphisms wasinvestigated in these samples. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software.Results: For TaqI polymorphism, both the wild type (TT) and heterozygous (TC) genotype showed a significant difference between patients andcontrols (p=0.023 and p<0.001, respectively). Whereas, the frequency of CC genotype was not significantly different among these groups (p=0.506).For BsmI polymorphism also, the frequency of wild type (GG) and heterozygous (GA) genotype was significantly different in patients and controls(p=0.027 and p=0.001), respectively. However, the frequency of AA genotype was not of statistical significance in patients (p=0.071).Conclusions: The mutant alleles of TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms are known to be associated with different metabolic diseases, including diabetestoo. In our study also, there is a significant difference between the frequency of wild type and heterozygous genotype for these polymorphisms. Thissuggests that BsmI and TaqI polymorphisms may be associated with T2DM patients.Keywords: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Polymorphism, Vitamin D receptor, Patient, Control, Restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Objective. The genetic structural alterations in the majority of somatotroph adenomas are not clarified and the search for novel candidate genes is still a challenge. We aimed to investigate possible associations between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and acromegaly.Design, Patients, and Methods. 52 acromegaly patients (mean age45.7±1.9years) and 83 controls (mean age43.1±2.6years) were recruited to the study. VDR polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism methods.Results. The distribution of VDR genotypes showed a significant difference in the frequencies of VDR FokI genotypes between patients and controls (P=0.034). VDR FokI ff genotype was significantly decreased in acromegaly patients (P=0.035) and carriers of FokI Ff genotype had a 1.5-fold increased risk for acromegaly (OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.07–2.1;P=0.020). IGF1 levels after treatment were significantly higher in patients carrying the Ff genotype compared to carrying ff genotype (P=0.0049). 25(OH)D3 levels were significantly lower in acromegaly patients (P<0.001).Conclusions. Our study suggests that VDR FokI genotypes might affect the development of acromegaly and VDR polymorphisms may play a role in the course of acromegaly as a consequence of altering hormonal status.
