Vitamin D receptor gene BsmIpolymorphisms in Thai patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract: The immunomodulatory role of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is well known. An association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene BsmI polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been reported. To examine the characteristics of VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms in patients with SLE and the relationship of polymorphisms to the susceptibility and clinical manifestations of SLE, VDR genotypings of 101 Thai patients with SLE and 194 healthy controls were performed based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction frag… Show more

“…Another similar study in Taiwan with the population of 47 patients with SLE also found an increased distribution of VDR BB genotype in SLE, but indicated no association between the frequency of VDR allelic variations and clinical manifestations or laboratory proWles [6]. Sakulpipatsin et al did not show any association between VDR gene BsmI polymorphism and SLE in 101 Thai patients with lupus [2].…”

“…It has been demonstrated that VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms are genetic markers of SLE [2,[5][6][7]10]. A study in Japan of 58 patients with SLE found that BB genotype might trigger the development of SLE and that the bb genotype was associated with lupus nephritis [5].…”

“…Neither vitamin D intake in adulthood 32 nor in adolescence 33 Case-control studies have examined the association between VDR polymorphisms and SLE with conflicting results, finding associations in some populations, 25 34-36 but not others. [37][38][39][40][41][42] No studies have examined the role of GC, CYP27B1 or CYP24A1 and the risk of SLE.…”
