In this study, we analysed the association of rs703842 in CYP27B1 gene with multiple sclerosis (MS) risk and disability progression in a group of 496 MS patients and 521 controls. For the first time in Central European Slovak population, we found the rs703842 allele C to be protective factor against MS development (p = 1.09 × 10). Moreover, the risky genotypes TT and TC were showed to be associated with an increased MS risk, and this was aggravated by the homozygous carriage of the HLA-DRB1*15:01 allele (OR = 2.82 vs. 4.86, p < .0001). No association of rs703842 with MS disability progression or calcidiol serum level was found.

High blood pressure (HBP) is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality worldwide. The progression of the disease leads to structural and/or functional alterations in various organs and increases cardiovascular risk. Currently, there are significant deficiencies in its diagnosis, treatment, and control.

Asthma is a chronic non-communicable disease that affects all age groups. The main challenge this condition poses is its heterogeneity. The role of vitamin D in asthma has aroused great interest, correlating low vitamin D levels and polymorphisms in the genes involved in its metabolic pathway with the risk of asthma.

The pathogenesis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is complex, since many risk factors have been identified. Recent research indicates that polymorphisms in the metabolic pathway of vitamin D may be involved in both risk and survival of the disease. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of 13 genetic polymorphisms involved in the vitamin D metabolic pathway on the risk of suffering from NSCLC.

T helper cells play an important role in the aetiology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Vitamin D has an anti-inflammatory effect on T helper cells and can affect onset and pathogenesis of MS. Two genes of the metabolic Vitamin D pathway expressed by activated T helper (Th) cells have been identified as MS risk genes by genome-wide association studies, CYP27B1 (25(OH)D 1-alpha-hydroxylase) and CYP24A1 (1,25(OH)D 24-alpha-hydroxylase).
