Vitamin D Receptor Gene TaqI, BsmI and FokI Polymorphisms in Korean Patients with Tuberculosis
BACKGROUND The active metabolite (1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) of vitamin D (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) leads to activation of macrophages and deficiency of vitamin D seems to be involved in the risk of tuberculosis. The effects of vitamin D are exerted by interaction with the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and may be influenced by polymorphism in the VDR gene. In this study, variation in the VDR ...
متن کاملVitamin D Receptor Gene BSMI, FOKI, APAI, and TAQI Polymorphisms and the Risk of Atopic Dermatitis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and the risk of skin diseases has been widely studied, yet there is only one study on atopic dermatitis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between 4 VDR polymorphisms and atopic dermatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional case control study was performed between March 20...
متن کاملApaI, BsmI, FokI, and TaqI Polymorphisms in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene and Parkinson's Disease
BACKGROUND The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has been identified as a candidate gene for susceptibility to Parkinson's disease (PD), but results from genetic association studies to date are inconsistent. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of published case-control studies to evaluate the association of the extensively studied VDR ApaI (G/T), BsmI (G/A), FokI (C/T), and TaqI (T/C) gene polymorph...
متن کاملP-245: Vitamin D Receptor FOKI and BSMI Polymorphisms in Women with Recurrent Abortions in Iranian Population
Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a frequent reproductive problem, with three or more abortions affecting 1 to 2%, two or more abortions affecting up to 5% of women of reproductive age. Some polymorphisms are supposed to be etiology in this group.Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism seems to be a good ones to be searched due to their function on placenta. Materials and M...
متن کاملThe Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene BsmI Polymorphism with Multiple Sclerosis in Iranian Patients
Background & Aims: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25 (OH)2 D3), the biologically active form of vitamin D, exerts an immunosuppressive effect through binding to its specific nuclear receptor. The present case-control study was done to examine the possible association of BsmI polymorphism in vitamin D receptor gene (VDR gene) with severity of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: 267 Iranian patients w...
