Association between vitamin D receptor gene variants and neonatal sepsis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Infect Public Health 2024; 17:518-526. [PMID: 38306913 DOI: 10.1016/j.jiph.2024.01.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was elucidating the association of VDR SNPs (FokI, TaqI, BsmI, BgII, and ApaI) with neonatal sepsis. Literature search was performed to retrieve records published until August 2nd, 2023 (PROSPERO registration: CRD42023451355). Meta-analysis was carried out to determine the pooled estimates for Odds Ratio (OR). A total of four studies were included with 500 neonates (250 sepsis cases and 250 healthy controls). There was an association observed between TaqI SNP with neonatal sepsis for CT vs. CC+TT (OR=1.95) and TT vs CT+CC (OR=0.40). Moreover, the pooled estimates also suggested that CC vs. CT+TT (OR= 0.37) and C vs. T (OR=0.66) of FokI SNP were significantly associated with neonatal sepsis. SNP of BgII was found to be significantly associated with neonatal sepsis, but only reported in a single study.

Abstract
Vitamin D effects are mediated by vitamin D receptors (VDRs), which are influenced by various genetic polymorphisms, including ApaI and BsmI. These polymorphisms have been linked to several diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aimed to compare the frequency and association of VDR ApaI and BsmI gene polymorphisms, serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH)-D) levels, and calcium (Ca) levels between a RA group and a matched healthy control group. In one hundred RA patients and fifty healthy controls, the genotypes of the VDR ApaI and BsmI gene polymorphisms were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP). Both Serum 25-(OH)-D level and calcium level were measured in the two groups. There was no significant difference between the cases and controls regarding the VDR ApaI gene polymorphism (p = 0.89). A significant difference was observed between the cases and controls in terms of the VDR BsmI gene polymorphism (p = < 0.001). The serum levels of 25-(OH)-D and calcium were significantly lower in the RA group compared to the control group (p = 0.04 and < 0.001 respectively). Significantly higher serum vitamin D levels were associated with the aa genotype (p = 0.007). Significantly increased calcium levels were associated with the AA genotype (p = 0.02). No significant difference was found among BsmI polymorphisms regarding vitamin D and Ca levels (p = 0.25 and 0.87 respectively). Vitamin D receptor gene BsmI polymorphism but not ApaI polymorphism could be a marker of RA susceptibility. Vitamin D and Ca levels are negatively affected by RA. Vitamin D receptor gene ApaI polymorphism contributes to vitamin D and Ca levels.

Abstract
An undersupply of 25-(OH) vitamin D3 (calcifediol) exists in many countries with moderate sunlight, long winters and only moderate fish consumption. Risk groups for vitamin D3 deficiency are older persons over 65 years, geriatric persons in nursing homes, infants and children/adolescents. Therefore, there are also many situations in Germany which justify vitamin D substitution; however, vitamin D3 is currently praised as a "magic bullet" against everything. But what do the data look like? Where can it help and where can it not help?

Abstract
The vitamin D/Vitamin D receptor (VDR) axis is crucial for human health as it regulates the expression of genes involved in different functions, including calcium homeostasis, energy metabolism, cell growth and differentiation, and immune responses. In particular, the vitamin D/VDR complex regulates genes of both innate and adaptive immunity. Autoimmune diseases are believed to arise from a genetic predisposition and the presence of triggers such as hormones and environmental factors. Among these, a role for Vitamin D and molecules correlated to its functions has been repeatedly suggested. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the VDR gene, ApaI, BsmI, TaqI, and FokI, in particular, have been associated with autoimmune disorders. The presence of particular VDR SNP alleles and genotypes, thus, was observed to modulate the likelihood of developing diverse autoimmune conditions, either increasing or reducing it. In this work, we will review the scientific literature suggesting a role for these different factors in the pathogenesis of autoimmune conditions and summarize evidence indicating a possible VDR SNP involvement in the onset of these diseases. A better understanding of the role of the molecular mechanisms linking Vitamin D/VDR and autoimmunity might be extremely useful in designing novel therapeutic avenues for these disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) has been implicated in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Here we aimed to evaluate the association of PADI4 gene rs11203367 and rs1748033 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with RA proneness. METHODS The mRNA expression of PADI4 was determined in the whole blood samples. The genotyping of PADI4 polymorphisms was conducted using allelic discrimination TaqMan genotyping Real-time PCR. RESULTS The alleles and genotypes of rs11203367 polymorphism were not associated with susceptibility to RA risk. The T allele (OR = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.21-2.04, P = 0.0005), TT genotype (OR = 2.79, 95%CI: 1.53-5.06, P = 0.0007), TC genotype (OR = 1.52, 95%CI: 1.04-2.23, P = 0.0291), dominant (OR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.19-2.47, P = 0.0034) and recessive (OR = 2.19, 95%CI: 1.25-3.82, P = 0.0057) models of rs1748033 SNP were associated with higher risk of RA. There was a significant upregulation of PADI4 mRNA in the RA patients compared to controls. mRNA expression of PADI4 had significantly positive correlation with anti-CCP level (r = 0.37, P = 0.041), RF level (r = 0.39, P = 0.037), and CRP level (r = 0.39, P = 0.024). CONCLUSION PADI4 gene rs1748033 SNP was associated with increased RA risk. This polymorphism might affect the RA pathogenesis regardless of impressing the levels of PADI-4 in serum.

Abstract
Evidence supporting the extra-skeletal role of vitamin D in modulating immune responses is centred on the effects of its final metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3, also known as calcitriol), which is regarded as a true steroid hormone. 1,25(OH)2D3, the active form of vitamin D, can modulate the innate immune system in response to invading pathogens, downregulate inflammatory responses and support the adaptive arm of the immune system. Serum concentrations of its inactive precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3, also known as calcidiol) fluctuate seasonally (being lowest in winter) and correlate negatively with the activation of the immune system as well as with the incidence and severity of autoimmune rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis. Thus, a low serum concentration of 25(OH)D3 is considered to be a risk factor for autoimmune rheumatic diseases and vitamin D3 supplementation seems to improve the prognosis; moreover, long-term vitamin D3 supplementation seems to reduce their incidence (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis). In the setting of COVID-19, 1,25(OH)2D3 seems to downregulate the early viral phase (SARS-CoV-2 infection), by enhancing innate antiviral effector mechanisms, as well as the later cytokine-mediated hyperinflammatory phase. This Review provides an update of the latest scientific and clinical evidence concerning vitamin D and immune response in autoimmune rheumatic diseases and COVID-19, which justify the need for monitoring of serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations and for appropriate supplementation following clinical trial-based approaches.

Abstract
The relation between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using six databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CNKI, Wanfang and Cochrane Library. The selection of each study was based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was applied to assess the quality of the included studies, while the strength was evaluated by odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The following contrasts were used: allele contrast (H vs h), homozygous contrast (HH vs hh), heterozygous contrast (Hh vs hh), dominant contrast (HH + Hh vs hh) and recessive contrast (HH vs Hh + hh). For the BsmI-rs1544410 polymorphism, three studies were included of 782 cases and 863 controls. The data showed a significant relationship under allele contrast H vs h (OR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.20-2.30 (P = 0.002)). For the TaqI-rs731236 polymorphism, 675 cases and 697 controls were included in two studies. The data showed a significant relationship under allele contrast H vs h (OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.11-2.21 (P < 0.05)), homozygous contrast Hh vs hh (OR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.12-2.43 (P < 0.05)), and recessive contrast HH + Hh vs hh (OR = 1.66, 95% CI 1.13-2.43 (P < 0.05)). There were significant relationships between VDR gene BsmI-rs1544410 and TaqI-rs731236 polymorphisms and AS, while no associations were found between FokI-rs2228570 and ApaI-rs7975232 polymorphisms and AS. In the future, additional studies with larger case numbers are need.

Abstract
Vitamin D has well-documented effects on calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism but recent studies suggest a much broader role for this secosteroid in human health. Key components of the vitamin D system, notably the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the vitamin D-activating enzyme (1α-hydroxylase), are present in a wide array of tissues, notably macrophages, dendritic cells and T lymphocytes (T cells) from the immune system. Thus, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) can be converted to hormonal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) within immune cells, and then interact with VDR and promote transcriptional and epigenomic responses in the same or neighbouring cells. These intracrine and paracrine effects of 1,25D have been shown to drive antibacterial or antiviral innate responses, as well as to attenuate inflammatory T cell adaptive immunity. Beyond these mechanistic observations, association studies have reported the correlation between low serum 25D levels and the risk and severity of human immune disorders including autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The proposed explanation for this is that decreased availability of 25D compromises immune cell synthesis of 1,25D leading to impaired innate immunity and over-exuberant inflammatory adaptive immunity. The aim of the current review is to explore the mechanistic basis for immunomodulatory effects of 25D and 1,25D in greater detail with specific emphasis on how vitamin D-deficiency (low serum levels of 25D) may lead to dysregulation of macrophage, dendritic cell and T cell function and increase the risk of inflammatory autoimmune disease.

Abstract
Background: Low vitamin D in pregnancy may impair the development of the fetal immune system and influence the risk of later development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the offspring. The aim was to examine whether lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D) concentrations at birth were associated with the risk of developing RA in early adulthood. Methods: This case-cohort study obtained data from Danish registers and biobanks. Cases included all individuals born during 1981−1996 and recorded in the Danish National Patient Register with a diagnosis of RA with age >18 years at first admission. The random comparison consisted of a subset of Danish children. Vitamin D concentrations were measured in newborn dried blood. In total, 805 RA cases and 2416 individuals from the subcohort were included in the final analysis. Weighted Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR). Results: The median (interquartile rage (IQR)) 25(OH)D concentrations among cases were 24.9 nmol/L (IQR:15.4;36.9) and 23.9 nmol/L (IQR:13.6;36.4) among the subcohort. There was no indication of a lower risk of RA among individuals in the highest vitamin D quintile compared with the lowest (HRadj.:1.21 (0.90;1.63)). Conclusion: The risk of RA in early adulthood was not associated with vitamin D concentrations at birth.

Abstract
Vitamin D is an important hormone involved in various physiologic processes, and its activity is linked to binding with vitamin D receptor (VDR). Genetic polymorphisms in the VDR gene could modulate the expression or function of the receptor and, consequently, alter the effects of vitamin D. Variants in VDR gene have been associated with susceptibility to many illnesses sensitive to vitamin D administration and to autoimmune disorders, but no data are available regarding autoimmune connective tissue diseases in Italian population. We analyzed three VDR polymorphisms in 695 Italian patients with autoimmune connective tissue diseases (308 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 195 with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), and 192 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)) and in 246 healthy controls with the aim to evaluate a possible association of VDR SNPs with susceptibility to these diseases in the Italian population. Genotyping of rs2228570, rs7975232, and rs731236 in VDR gene was performed by an allelic discrimination assay. A case/control association study and a genotype/phenotype correlation analysis have been performed. We observed a higher risk to develop SLE for rs2228570 TT genotype (P = 0.029, OR = 1.79). No association was observed between susceptibility to pSS or RA and this SNP, although this variant is significantly less present in RA patients producing autoantibodies. For rs7975232 SNP, we observed a significant association of the variant homozygous genotype with SLE (P = 0.009, OR = 1.82), pSS (P = 0.046, OR = 1.66), and RA (P = 0.028, OR = 1.75) susceptibility. Moreover, we reported associations of this genotype with clinical phenotypes of SLE and pSS. Lastly, the GG genotype of rs731236 was associated with a lower RA susceptibility (P = 0.045, OR = 0.55). Our results show that the explored VDR polymorphisms are significantly associated with autoimmune connective tissue disorders and support the hypothesis that the genetic variability of VDR gene may be involved in susceptibility to these diseases in Italian population.

Vitamin D Status Among Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Multicenter Prospective, Non-randomized, Comparative Study. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:915943.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by destructive and inflammatory damage to the joints. The aim in this study was to compare vitamin D levels between children and adolescents, 1-18 years of age, with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and a health control group of peers. We considered effects of endogenous, exogenous, and genetic factors on measured differences in vitamin D levels among children with JIA. METHODS Our findings are based on a study sample of 150 patients with various variants of JIA and 277 healthy children. The blood level of vitamin D was assessed by calcidiol level. The following factors were included in our analysis: age and sex; level of insolation in three regions of country (center, south, north); assessment of dietary intake of vitamin D; effect of prophylactic doses of cholecalciferol; a relationship between the TaqI, FokI, and BsmI polymorphisms of the VDR gene and serum 25(OH)D concentration. RESULTS We identified a high frequency of low vitamin D among children with JIA, prevalence of 66%, with the medial level of vitamin D being within the range of "insufficient" vitamin D. We also show that the dietary intake of vitamin D by children with JIA is well below expected norms, and that prophylactic doses of vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol) at a dose of 500-1,000 IU/day and 1,500-2,000 IU/day do not meet the vitamin D needs of children with JIA. Of importance, we show that vitamin D levels among children with JIA are not affected by clinical therapies to manage the disease nor by the present of VDR genetic variants. CONCLUSION Prophylactic administration of cholecalciferol and season of year play a determining role in the development of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the hypothesis that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are less likely than healthy individuals to adhere to the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern. DESIGN A multi-centre cross-sectional study involving a total of 300 eligible Iranian adults (aged >19 years; 93·0 % female) recruited during 2019-2020. Participants' actual dietary intakes were measured via self-administered 3-d dietary records. The DASH score was computed based on the energy-adjusted intakes of eight major dietary components usually emphasised (i.e. fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, low-fat dairy products and whole grains) or minimised (i.e. sweets, red or processed meats and sodium) in the DASH diet. The higher the DASH score of subjects, the greater their adherence to the DASH pattern. SETTING The outpatient clinics of major general hospitals in Shiraz, Iran. PARTICIPANTS 100 incident cases with definite RA according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism Classification Criteria for RA and 200 apparently healthy controls frequency-matched by gender and age. RESULTS After adjusting for several potential covariates in the binary logistic regression analysis, RA cases were less likely than controls to have high adherence to the DASH pattern (OR = 0·08; 95 % CI 0·03, 0·20; P = 0·001). CONCLUSIONS Our findings in a sample of Iranian adults revealed that RA patients are less likely than healthy individuals to adhere to the DASH dietary pattern. However, the potential causal association of greater adherence to the DASH pattern and lower risk of RA needs to be confirmed by prospective studies of high methodological quality.

Abstract
Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining a healthy mineralized skeleton. It is also considered an immunomodulatory agent that regulates innate and adaptive immune systems. The aim of this narrative review is to provide general concepts of vitamin D for the skeletal and immune health, and to summarize the mechanistic, epidemiological, and clinical evidence on the relationship between vitamin D and rheumatic diseases. Multiple observational studies have demonstrated the association between a low level of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and the presence and severity of several rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), spondyloarthropathies, and osteoarthritis (OA). Nevertheless, the specific benefits of vitamin D supplements for the treatment and prevention of rheumatic diseases are less accepted as the results from randomized clinical trials are inconsistent, although some conceivable benefits of vitamin D for the improvement of disease activity of RA, SLE, and OA have been demonstrated in meta-analyses. It is also possible that some individuals might benefit from vitamin D differently than others, as inter-individual difference in responsiveness to vitamin D supplementation has been observed in genomic studies. Although the optimal level of serum 25(OH)D is still debatable, it is advisable it is advisable that patients with rheumatic diseases should maintain a serum 25(OH)D level of at least 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) to prevent osteomalacia, secondary osteoporosis, and fracture, and possibly 40–60 ng/mL (100–150 nmol/L) to achieve maximal benefit from vitamin D for immune health and overall health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High blood pressure (BP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Examining the role of inflammatory mediators on BP is important since vitamin D (VD) is a modifiable risk factor, which possibly modulates inflammatory cytokines. This study simulated what are known as average 'controlled direct effects (CDE)' of inflammatory markers, C reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interlukin-6 (IL-6) on continuous BP measures, while fixing VD, an intermediate variable to specific level. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING We analysed data from the Multi-Community Environment-and-Health Study, 2005-2009, conducted in Eeyou Istchee, Quebec, Canada. PARTICIPANTS This study recruited 1425 study Indigenous Cree participants from seven Cree communities. Only adults with serum VD levels, inflammatory markers and BP measures were included in this data analysis. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOMES MEASURES Inflammatory markers examined the top 25th exposure percentiles. VD 'insufficiency' (ie, 25-hydroxyvitamin-D levels<50 nmol/L) defined by the Institute of Medicine. CDE for each inflammatory marker in the presence and absence of population VD insufficiency simulated the average direct effect change for systolic and diastolic BP (SBP and DBP) measures. All models were adjusted for exposure-and-mediator outcome relationship. RESULTS Among 161 participants, 97 (60 %) were female. The prevalence of VD insufficiency was 32%. CDE estimates show in the presence and absence of population vitamin D insufficiency, inflammatory markers have a slightly different association on BP. TNF-α significantly and inversely associated with SBP in the presence of vitamin D insufficiency, fully adjusted model β = -13.61 (95% CI -24.42 to -2.80); however, TNF-α was not associated with SBP in the absence of vitamin D insufficiency. CRP, IL-6 were also not significantly associated with BP measures, although the magnitude of association was greater for those with elevated inflammation and VD insufficiency. CONCLUSION This novel analysis shows in the presence of VD insufficiency, inflammation (particularly TNF-α) may affect SBP. Additional research is needed to elucidate these findings, and the temporal relationship between these variables.

NFKB1 promoter -94 insertion/deletion ATTG polymorphism (rs28362491) is associated with severity and disease progression of rheumatoid arthritis through interleukin-6 levels modulation in Egyptian patients. Clin Rheumatol 2021; 40:2927-2937. [PMID: 33459954 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-021-05584-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Revised: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder, which can cause progressive and functional disability. Previous data suggests that some inflammatory cytokines are dysregulated in patients with RA. Polymorphisms in the NFKB1 gene were studied in different populations with RA. Specific studies showed that the NFKB1 promoter -94ins/delATTG (rs28362491) polymorphism appears to be correlated with alterations in the IL-6 expression and may lead to disease development. We aimed to evaluate the association between the NFKB1 -94ins/delATTG polymorphism and biochemical, and clinical markers for severity of RA in Egyptian patients. METHODS Study subjects included 196 RA patients from the Egyptian population. NFKB1 -94ins/delATTG polymorphism was genotyped by real-time PCR using the TaqMan assay. Concentrations of plasma IL-6 were assessed using the ELISA method. RESULTS The frequencies of (del/del + ins/del) genotype in cases with erosive arthritis were significantly increased as compared to cases with non-erosive arthritis (63.0% vs. 47.7%, OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.05-3.30, p: 0.043). Carriers of del allele had high activity and severity markers compared with those of ins/ins genotype. The del allele was significantly associated with higher IL-6 levels in a dose-dependent manner. Plasma levels of IL-6 were significantly higher in the del/del (41.4 ± 16.2 pg/ml) and ins/del (19.1 ± 12.4 pg/ml) genotype when compared with the ins/ins genotype (11.4 ± 4.21 pg/ml). In a multivariate analysis of variance, including confounding factors associated with higher IL-6 levels (RF, disease duration, and DAS28), the NFKB1 -94ins/delATTG polymorphism retained its role. Logistic regression analyses revealed that high IL-6 plasma levels independently associated with an increased risk of presenting erosive RA, while -94ins/delATTG polymorphism has no direct association with the progression of erosive arthritis. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that the NFKB1 -94ins/delATTG polymorphism contributes to the severity and progression of RA through IL-6 levels modulation in Egyptian patients. Key Points • Carriers of del allele had high activity and severity markers compared with those of ins/ins genotype. • In RA patients, the del allele was significantly associated with higher IL-6 levels in a dose-dependent manner. • IL-6 plasma levels are independently associated with an increased risk of presenting erosive arthritis. • The NFKB1 -94ins/delATTG polymorphism contributes to the severity and progression of RA through IL-6 levels modulation in Egyptian patients.

Abstract
A high prevalence of vitamin D (calcidiol) serum deficiency has been described in several autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis (AR), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Vitamin D is a potent immunonutrient that through its main metabolite calcitriol, regulates the immunomodulation of macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, which express the vitamin D receptor (VDR), and they produce and respond to calcitriol. Genetic association studies have shown that up to 65% of vitamin D serum variance may be explained due to genetic background. The 90% of genetic variability takes place in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and SNPs in genes related to vitamin D metabolism have been linked to influence the calcidiol serum levels, such as in the vitamin D binding protein (VDBP; rs2282679 GC), 25-hydroxylase (rs10751657 CYP2R1), 1α-hydroxylase (rs10877012, CYP27B1) and the vitamin D receptor (FokI (rs2228570), BsmI (rs1544410), ApaI (rs7975232), and TaqI (rs731236) VDR). Therefore, the aim of this comprehensive literature review was to discuss the current findings of functional SNPs in GC, CYP2R1, CYP27B1, and VDR associated to genetic risk, and the most common clinical features of MS, RA, and SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between the polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the risk of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been evaluated in several studies. However, the findings were inconclusive. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the effect of VDR gene polymorphisms on the risk of T1DM. METHODS All relevant studies reporting the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to T1DM published up to May 2020 were identified by comprehensive systematic database search in ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed/MEDLINE. Strength of association were assessed by calculating of pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The methodological quality of each study was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. To find the potential sources of heterogeneity, meta-regression and subgroup analysis were also performed. RESULTS A total of 39 case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis. The results of overall population rejected any significant association between VDR gene polymorphisms and T1DM risk. However, the pooled results of subgroup analysis revealed significant negative and positive associations between FokI and BsmI polymorphisms and T1DM in Africans and Americans, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggested a significant association between VDR gene polymorphism and T1DM susceptibility in ethnic-specific analysis.
