Abstract
Aim: This work was designed to investigate the associations between vitamin D metabolites, VDR gene polymorphisms and echocardiographic markers in a population of patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: Echocardiographic markers for 42 patients were determined with tissue Doppler techniques. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis identified genetic variants ApaI, TaqI, BsmI and FokI. A validated UHPLC-MS/MS method determined vitamin D metabolites. Results: Patients with the ApaI-GT genotype exhibited a lower pressure gradient across the aortic valve than ApaI-TT carriers. BMI, ApaI-GT, TaqI-TC, aortic arch diameter and maximal pressure gradient were significant univariate predictors of hypertension. Conclusion: A potential link exists between VDR gene polymorphisms and cardiovascular function.

Abstract
(1) Vitamin D deficiency and changes in the endocrine system may stimulate systemic inflammation. VDR expression and the vitamin D concentration decrease with age, which is important in postmenopausal women for whom estrogen deficiency causes rapid bone loss. This group is, moreover, particularly at risk of developing atherosclerosis and its adverse consequences, such as chronic inflammation. The aim of this study was to assess the differentiation by the VDR genotype of the risk factors for so-called chronic low-grade inflammation and metabolic disorders. (2) We studied the differences between the anthropometric, metabolic, and inflammation parameters of VDR genotypes for Apa-I, Bsm-I, Fok-I, and Taq-I in a sample of 321 women aged 50-60 from an ethnically homogeneous urban population in Poland. (3) The TT Taq-I genotype presented a significantly higher rate of insulin resistance (HOMA) and lower serum levels of adiponectin than the other two genotypes. The AA genotype of the Bsm-I polymorphism was associated with a more atherogenic serum profile and significantly higher LDL and LDL/HDL values and Castelli Index. (4) Chronic low-grade inflammation was associated with the TT Taq-I genotype and presented a higher rate of insulin resistance. The AA genotype of the Bsm-I polymorphism presented a more atherogenic serum lipid profile and, therefore, a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are believed to be involved in the obesity pathogenesis. This study summarises the results of research concerning the association between VDR polymorphisms and obesity. For this survey, the records of common databases were searched until November 2019. Four loci of the VDR gene in four case-controlled and 22 cross-sectional studies were assessed and evaluated. In the case-control studies, no significant association was observed between ApaI and FokI polymorphism with obesity risk. TaqI "T" allele in two studies was related to a higher risk of obesity. One investigation found no relationship between BsmI and obesity, while another article suggested that the "b" allele is more frequently found in obese subjects. The results of cross-sectional studies did not lead to consistent findings. Although the previous studies failed to arrive at conclusive findings, the effects of VDR polymorphism on obesity development cannot be ignored.

Abstract
Objective: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is the narrowing of a stented coronary artery lesion. A considerable number of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are affected by ISR. The predominant mechanism in the development of ISR is an inflammatory response to vessel wall injury during PCI. Vitamin D is reported to have anti-inflammatory properties, so it may also be related with ISR. Therefore, in this study the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR), vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) gene variations and ISR were investigated.
Methods: Fifty-eight ISR patients who have chest pain, underwent angiography and were found to have restenosis in the previously inserted stent were included in the patient group and thirty-five patients who have chest pain and were not found to have restenosis in their previous stent in coronary angiography were included in the control group. rs7041 and rs4588 variations in VDBP; rs1544410 and rs2228570 variations in VDR were investigated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results were evaluated statistically.
Results: The CC genotype of rs2228570 variation of VDR and the CA genotype of rs4588 variation of VDBP were found statistically high in patient group. rs7041 variation was found statistically high in patients who had myocardial infarction history before stent implantation. Additionally, it was demonstrated that vitamin D deficiency (vitamin D level

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a serious health condition that is becoming extremely threatening in Saudi Arabia. The link between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and maternal MetS has been observed in several ethnic groups, but is yet to be clarified in the Arabian population. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the FokI VDR genotype and the risk of MetS and its components in pregnant Saudi women. A cross-sectional study was conducted using 368 pregnant Saudi women on first trimester screened for MetS (44 with MetS and 324 without MetS). Measurements included anthropometrics, glycemic and lipid profile and 25(OH)D. TaqMan genotyping assay was used to determine Fokl VDR genotype of participants. Vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D <50nmol/l) was seen in 85% of the participants. An estimated 12% of participants had MetS. In the MetS group, the FokI VDR genotyping frequencies for FF, Ff, and ff genotypes were 50%, 36.4% and 13.6%, respectively. In controls, the frequencies were 62.7%, 31.4% and 5.9%, respectively. No significant association between the individual MetS components and FokI VDR genotypes were observed. Nevertheless, carriers of the ff allele had a significant risk for full maternal MetS [Odds Ratio 4.2 (95% Confidence Interval 1.4-12.2; adjusted p=0.009). The study suggests that the ff FokI VDR genotype is a genetic marker of maternal MetS in pregnant Arabian women. Prospective studies that include neonatal outcomes may confirm present findings.

Abstract
Heavy metals are a dangerous source of pollution due to their toxicity, permanence in the environment and chemical nature. It is well known that long-term exposure to heavy metals is related to several chronic degenerative diseases (cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, neurodegenerative syndromes, etc.). In this work, we propose a machine learning framework to evaluate the severity of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) from Human scalp hair analysis (HSHA) tests and genetic analysis and identify a small group of these clinical features mostly associated with the CVD risk. Using a private dataset provided by the DD Clinic foundation in Caserta, Italy, we cross-validated the classification performance of a Random Forests model with 90 subjects affected by CVD. The proposed model reached an AUC of 0.78 ± 0.01 on a three class classification problem. The robustness of the predictions was assessed by comparison with different cross-validation schemes and two state-of-the-art classifiers, such as Artificial Neural Network and General Linear Model. Thus, is the first work that studies, through a machine learning approach, the tight link between CVD severity, heavy metal concentrations and SNPs. Then, the selected features appear highly correlated with the CVD phenotype, and they could represent targets for future CVD therapies.

Abstract
The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess a relationship between the VDR genotypes, plasma concentrations of vitamin D metabolites, and the occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Fifty-eight patients treated for various cardiological afflictions were included. Identification of VDR polymorphisms: ApaI, TaqI, BsmI, and FokI were carried out using the PCR-RFLP method. Plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D2, 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3, and 3-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 were assessed by the UPLC-MS/MS method. Lower incidence of BsmI AA genotype in the studied patients was observed compared with healthy controls, but the difference was insignificant. Among patients with the TT genotype, frequency of hypertension was higher than among carriers of other ApaI genotypes (p < 0.01). In addition, carriers of the TT ApaI, TC TaqI, and GA BsmI genotypes had an increased risk of obesity, while the presence of the FokI TT genotype was associated with a higher incidence of heart failure and hypertension. In conclusion, the BsmI AA genotype can be protective against CVD, but this observation needs study on a larger group of patients. Particular VDR genotypes were associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin-D levels, and the mechanism of this association should be further investigated.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
25-Hydroxyvitamin D (Vit.D) levels associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) may vary according to genetic variants in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. However, the existing results are not conclusive in the Egyptian population, where diabetes mellitus is a common CVD risk factor. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role of VDR polymorphism in Egyptian patients with CVD by studying the association of the rs2228570 (FokI) and rs1544410 (BsmI) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the VDR gene and serum levels of Vit.D with several CVD risk factors in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. We studied the genotypes for rs2228570 (FokI) and rs1544410 (BsmI) SNPs of the VDR gene in 382 Egyptian patients (120 CVD patients with diabetes, 124 CVD patients without diabetes, 69 diabetic patients without CVD and 69 healthy individuals). We also determined the serum levels of Vit.D, insulin, lipids, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and the body mass index (BMI).
Results
The distribution of genotypes and allelic frequencies of the rs2228570 (FokI) and rs1544410 (BsmI) SNPs of the VDR gene was significant in CVD patients (p < 0.001). The level of Vit.D was significantly lower in patients with CVD and diabetes compared to those without diabetes (p < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significant association between Vit.D level and the selected SNPs with serum lipids, BMI, FBG, and insulin levels in CVD patients with or without diabetes.
Conclusion
The level of Vit.D and the distribution of VDR polymorphisms are associated with risk of CVD in Egyptian patients with or without diabetes. These results suggest that VDR polymorphisms may be potential diagnostic biomarkers for CVD susceptibility.

Abstract
The vitamin D receptor (VDR), coded by the VDR gene, plays a pivotal role in executing cellular functions when bound by the active form of vitamin D. Gene polymorphisms in this receptor have been increasingly associated with a heightened state of vulnerability to certain diseases. However, limited data is available concerning the role of VDR gene polymorphisms in preterm infant complications. In 114 premature infants (< 32 weeks gestation) we analyze four single nucleotide VDR polymorphisms (rs2228570 (FokI), rs1544410 (BsmI), rs797532 (ApaI), rs731236 (TaqI)) for their association with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The results show that BPD was almost four times more likely in infants with the genotype CC of ApaI (rs7975232) (OR 3.845; p = 0.038). While both BPD and NEC were 2.1 times more likely to occur in preterm infants with the allele C of ApaI (rs7975232) (respectively: OR 2.111 and OR 2.129, p < 0.05). The ApaI VDR polymorphism appears to influence incidence of BPD and NEC in preterm infants. Considering VDR polymorphisms in future genetic investigations, in preterm complications, may prove clinically relevant.

Abstract
Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the intron 8 is a well characterized SNP which has previously been linked to various diseases including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). However, the association of this SNP with micro and macrovascular complications of T2DM remains poorly studied. Hence, the present study was designed to investigate the association of VDR gene SNP with complications of T2DM (disease phenotype) and correlated it with the serum levels of (25[OH]D) (intermediate phenotype) along with other clinical risk factors of T2DM. Genotyping was carried out in a total of 866 subjects, in which Group-I had Control subjects (n = 252), Group-II with T2DM without complications (n = 200); Group-III and Group-IV had subjects with micro (n = 216) and macrovascular (n = 198) complications respectively by PCR -RFLP. The 'G' allele of the VDR gene SNP is associated with a significant risk for T2DM, Diabetic Neuropathy (DN) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). In addition, subjects with mutant GG genotype had lower levels of (25[OH]D) in both T2DM and micro-macrovascular complications than AA genotype. Thus, VDR (rs1544410) SNP was found to be associated with decreased serum (25[OH]D) levels in both micro-macrovascular complications of T2DM among South Indian Population.

Abstract
AIM To explore the association between VDR polymorphisms and several cardiovascular risk factors and adiponectin. MATERIALS & METHODS Three-hundred and sixty-nine healthy students were randomly selected. Five VDR polymorphisms were genotyped: BsmI rs1544410; Cdx2 rs11568820; ApaI rs7975232; TaqI rs731236 and FokI rs2228570. BMI, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, lipid/glycemic profiles and adiponectin were assessed. RESULTS In men, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI were associated with BMI and WC (p < 0.05). FokI was associated with triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein levels (p = 0.0036; p = 0.005) whereas BsmI and Cdx2 were associated with adiponectin levels (p = 0.026; p = 0.048). Associations disappeared after BMI and WC adjustments. In women, ApaI was associated with systolic blood pressure (p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated a gender-specific difference between VDR SNPs and various cardiovascular risk factors and adiponectin.

Abstract
Introduction Since there is evidence of the action of vitamin D as a modulator of insulin release and atherosclerosis, it may well be that the vitamin D receptor polymorphisms are associated with diabetes and its chronic complications. Aims To examine the associations between vitamin D receptor polymorphisms (FokI and TaqI) and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and its associated chronic complications in postmenopausal women. Methods This cross-sectional study analyzed 100 postmenopausal women with T2DM (mean age 65.7±7.18 years) and 100 postmenopausal women without diabetes in the control group (mean age 65.1±9.18 years; P=0.1608). We evaluated clinical and metabolic parameters and analyzed TaqI and FokI polymorphisms. Results There were no significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between patients and controls in either of the polymorphisms studied. In the group of patients with diabetes, there were no significant differences in either polymorphism in relation to stroke, retinopathy, nephropathy, or neuropathy. However, in patients with T2DM and coronary artery disease, f genotype (P=0.0361) and the combination of Ff + ff genotypes were observed less frequently (P=0.0462). Conclusion This study suggests the potential protective factor of FokI polymorphism for coronary artery disease in postmenopausal women with T2DM in the recessive model.
