Several data link vitamin D to many autoimmune diseases. Association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene BsmI polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus has been reported. In this study, we examine whether the VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms are markers for susceptibility to or severity of SLE. This study incorporated 60 patients with SLE living in northeastern Iran. Three genotypes, BB, Bb and bb, were detected based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR/RFLP). The distribution of VDR genotyping in patients with SLE was 23.3% for BB, 60% for Bb and 16.7% for bb and in the control group was 33.3% for BB, 46.7% for Bb and 20% for bb (P = 0.334). No association of VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms with SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI), SLE damage score and major organ involvement was detected. The result of this study did not show any association between VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms and SLE.

The association between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension (EH) remains controversial. We searched databases (Cochrane Library, EBSCO, EMBASE, LILACS, ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Springer) for studies on VDR gene polymorphisms and EH until May 30, 2024, following PRISMA guidelines.

Polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene (BsmI (rs1544410), FokI (rs2228570), ApaI (rs7975232), TaqI (rs731236)) and low vitamin D concentrations have previously been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Vitamin D is thought to mediate the switch from a pro-inflammatory Th1 response to an anti-inflammatory Th2 response which is protective against the development of T1D. These associations are inconsistent across studies and population groups.

Background: There is an ongoing controversy regarding the expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and binding protein (VDBP) genes, as well as their polymorphisms, in periodontitis. We examined eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed a transcriptome-level bioinformatics analysis to clarify their relationship with periodontitis.
Methods: To explore VDR and VDBP polymorphisms, 600 subjects were included, including 307 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) and 293 healthy controls.

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine-metabolic disorder affecting reproductive-aged women. Genetic factors play a significant role in its development. This meta-analysis assesses the associations between specific gene polymorphisms (Vitamin D receptor [VDR] and adiponectin [ADIPOQ]) and PCOS susceptibility.

The relationship between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and many pathogenic pathways in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) remains unclear. Given the significance of the topic, we conducted this study to explore the correlation between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and clinical and inflammatory factors in patients suffering from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The current research is a case/control study conducted based on the Helsinki Ethical Principles.
