Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism: Correlation with Bone Mineral Density in a Brazilian Population with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis. Among the genetic factors related to the development of osteoporosis, a possible association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and bone mineral density (BMD) has been described in some populations. We characterized the VDR gene polymorphism in a healthy adult Brazilian population and in a group of patients with IDDM and correlated these findings with densitometric values in both groups.

“…The overall prevalence of alleles was 16% BB , 44% Bb and 40% bb . Although the Brazilian population is considered ethnically heterogeneous, the distribution of alleles in the present series agrees well with those previously reported for normal Brazilian premenopausal women and diabetic patients [26, 51]and also with most of the studies on Caucasian patients [30]. …”

“…Previous studies of type 1 diabetes did not focus on women close to the menopausal transition, during which bone loss due to aging often occurs, although similar reductions in BMD were observed (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). A 1-SD decrease in BMD is associated with a twoto threefold hip fracture increase, particularly for women immediately after menopause (31,32).…”

“…Worse glycemic control in type 1 diabetes was generally not related to lower BMD (4 -12,17,22). Genetic variants in the vitamin D receptor (8) or collagen type 1 ␣-1 (9) are possibly associated with low BMD in type 1 diabetes. Decreased BMD in middle-aged type 1 diabetic women could be due to increased bone turnover (16,23,24), but recent studies do not find this (10,22,25).…”

“…O mesmo grupo, em dois outros trabalhos (31,32), não encontrou uma prevalência maior do genótipo associado à menor massa óssea (BB) numa população de idosos com fraturas femurais nem a osteopenia observada em diabéticos insulino-dependentes estava relacionada ao polimorfismo.…”
