چکیده
PURPOSE To analyze the relationship between nephrolithiasis and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene BsmI (rs1544410), ApaI (rs7975232), TaqI (rs731236), Tru9I (rs757343) and FokI (rs2228570) polymorphisms in a study group from the Turkish population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-eight patients with calcium oxalate kidney stones and 70 controls were enrolled in this study. Five polymorphisms of the VDR gene were studied using the Polymerase Chain Reaction Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. RESULTS For all polymorphisms, genotype frequencies were in line with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the patients and controls. For the BsmI polymorphism, allele frequency distribution was found to differ significantly between the patients and the controls (P < .05). The "B" allele was found to increase the risk of nephrolithiasis by approximately 1.5-fold (odds ratio = 1.55, 95% confidence interval: 1.00-2.40; P = .048). However, we did not find any statistically significant differences in the allele and genotype frequencies for the ApaI, TaqI, Tru9I and FokI polymorphisms. Proportionally, the "BAt" and "baT" haplotypes were more common than other haplotypes in the cases and controls, respectively. For the haplotypes of the BsmI and TaqI polymorphisms, the "bT" haplotype frequency was found to be common in both the patients and the controls. However, we did not find statistically significant differences between the cases and the controls for either the BsmI / ApaI / TaqI or the BsmI/TaqI haplotypes. Moreover, no relationship was identified between family history and development of stone disease. CONCLUSION The "B" allele of the BsmI polymorphism of the VDR gene may increase stone development risk. Further investigations are needed to improve our knowledge regarding the genetic factors affecting urinary stone development.

متن کاملVitamin D receptor gene haplotype is associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Vitamin D(3) is a neurosteroid that mediates its effects via the vitamin D receptor (VDR). The VDR gene is located on chromosome 12q13 and consists of 9 exons. VDR contains the DNA-binding site encoded by exons 2 and 3 and the ligand-binding site encoded by exons 4 - 9. Our earlier study showed that the ApaI polymorphic site of the VDR gene is associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (...

Background: Some genetic factors are involved in the etiology of Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves’ disease as autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). Effects of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in AITDs development have already been investigated in some previous studies. However, no study has been done on the association between VDR FokI and ApaI polymorphisms and AITDs in an Iranian po...
