Polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene and type 1 diabetes mellitus risk: an update by meta-analysis

Abstract

Four well known polymorphisms (BsmI, FokI, ApaI, TaqI) in the VDR gene have been implicated in susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), but the results to date have been inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in the VDR gene and T1DM risk by meta-analysis. A total of 57 case-control studies in 26 published studies were included. The results indicated that the BsmI polymorphism is associated with increased risk of T1DM (BB+Bb vs. bb: OR=1.30, 95% CI=1.03-1.63), while the FokI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms were not. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, the increased risk of T1DM remained in the Asian subgroup for the BsmI polymorphism; whereas no significant association was found in other populations for other polymorphisms. Results from the current study suggest that the BsmI polymorphism is associated with increased risk of T1DM, especially in Asians. Further studies are needed to confirm our results.

Barrett’s esophagus if a serious complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease during which the normal esophageal lining changes to tissue that resembles intestinal lining. Here is the latest research.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
