GENES & NUTRITION 2020; 15:20. [PMID: 33238893 PMCID: PMC7687795 DOI: 10.1186/s12263-020-00679-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to quantitatively summarize the evidence for VDR BsmI gene polymorphism and osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, EMBASE, Weipu, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched for eligible studies. Case-control studies containing available genotype frequencies of B/b were chosen, and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the strength of this association. RESULTS 4485 osteoporosis and 5490 controls were identified in our meta-analysis. In the stratified analysis, a significant association was observed between VDR BsmI gene polymorphism and osteoporosis susceptibility in Caucasians (additive model: OR = 0.809, 95% CI 0.678~0.965, p = 0.019; recessive model: OR = 0.736, 95% CI 0.568~0.955, p = 0.021; and co-dominant model: bb vs. BB OR = 0.701, 95% CI 0.511~0.962 p = 0.028), and we failed to find any significant relationship in Asians. CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis suggests that VDR BsmI genotype is associated with increased risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Caucasians but not in Asians. To draw comprehensive and true conclusions, further prospective studies with larger numbers of participants worldwide are needed to examine associations between VDR BsmI polymorphism and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

Association between vitamin D receptor BsmI, FokI, and Cdx2 polymorphisms and osteoporosis risk: an updated meta-analysis. Biosci Rep 2020; 40:225702. [PMID: 32627819 PMCID: PMC7364509 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20201200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 06/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Many studies have reported the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism and osteoporosis risk. However, their results were conflicting. Six previous meta-analyses have been published to analyze VDR BsmI, FokI, and Cdx2 polymorphisms on osteoporosis risk. However, they did not evaluate the reliability of statistically significant associations. Furthermore, a lot of new articles have been published on these themes, and therefore an updated meta-analysis was performed to further explore these issues. Objectives: To explore the association between VDR BsmI, FokI, and Cdx2 polymorphisms polymorphisms and osteoporosis risk. Methods: The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were pooled to evaluate the association between VDR BsmI, FokI, and Cdx2 polymorphisms and osteoporosis risk. To evaluate the credibility of statistically significant associations, we applied the false-positive report probabilities (FPRPs) test and the Venice criteria. Results: Overall, statistically significantly increased osteoporosis risk was found in Indians and women for VDR FokI polymorphism. Statistically significantly decreased osteoporosis risk was found in West Asians for VDR BsmI polymorphism. However, when we performed a sensitivity analysis after excluding low quality and Hardy–Weinberg Disequilibrium (HWD) studies, significantly decreased osteoporosis risk was only found in overall population for VDR BsmI polymorphism. Further, less-credible positive results were identified when we evaluated the credibility of positive results. Conclusion: These positive findings should be interpreted with caution and indicate that significant association may most likely result from less-credible, rather than from true associations or biological factors on the VDR BsmI and FokI polymorphisms with osteoporosis risk.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones in which the density of the bones decreases. The prevalence of this disease greatly varies in different populations of the world. Numerous studies have been investigated VDR gene polymorphisms as osteoporosis risk in different ethnic groups. In present meta-analysis, the aim is to find out the role of VDR gene polymorphisms (FokI, BsmI, ApaI, and TaqI) in osteoporosis risk.
Methods
Suitable case-control studies for present meta-analysis were retrieved from four electronic databases. Open Meta-Analyst program was used for statistical analyses.
Results
Studies investigated BsmI (65 studies; 6880 cases/8049 controls), ApaI (31 studies; 3763 cases/3934 controls), FokI (18 studies; 1895 cases/1722 controls), and TaqI (26 studies; 2458 cases/2895 controls) polymorphisms that were included in the present meta-analysis. A significant association was found between the dominant model of FokI (ORff + Ffvs.FF = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.04–1.36, p = 0.01, I2 = 39.36%) in the overall analysis and recessive model of the Caucasian population of TaqI polymorphism (ORTT + Ttvs.tt = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.11–1.63, p = 0.002, I2 = 50.07%) with osteoporosis. On the other hand, no such effect is found in any other genetic models and in any other gene polymorphisms of the overall analyses or sub-group analyses.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the authors found that the dominant model of FokI in the overall analysis and recessive model of TaqI in the Caucasian population are significantly associated with the development of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D levels at baseline and after 12 weeks of supplementation/exposure to sunlight and VDR genotypes (BsmI, TaqI and ApaI) and haplotypes in a homogeneous population of postmenopausal women. Methods: We made a prospective study in which 151 women were randomized to two groups: One with 1000 mg of calcium and 800 IU vitamin D supplementation (102 women) and a placebo group with neither calcium or vitamin D supplementation (49 women). The follow-up was from May to September 2012.Vitamin D was determined by chemiluminescent immunoassay. Genotypes were determined using the Sequenomi Plexplatform and haplotypes using PHASE software. Results: Baseline (25 ± 10 ng/mlvs.23 ± 9 ng/ml, p > 0.05) and 12-week (32 ± 8 ng/mlvs.29 ± 10 ng/ml, p > 0.05) vitamin D levels were similar between the two groups. The genetic study was made in the total population. There were no differences in baseline and final levels of vitamin D in terms of genotypes and haplotypes, except for the Bat haplotype, whose baseline values were lower (25OHD: 21 ± 10 ng/mlvs. 21 ± 10 ng/ml, p = 0.038). The rate of nonresponders in this group was 15 % (p = 0.001), compared with 9 %, 2 % and 3 % in the other groups. Conclusions: The Bat haplotype was associated with lower baseline levels of vitamin D and a worse response to supplementation and, therefore, may be a risk factor for vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
Results on the relationships between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) susceptibility and bone mineral density (BMD) are conflicting. The aim of the study is to identify more eligible studies that calculated pooled OR and WMD with 95% CI to assess their associations. Overall, there were significant correlations between VDR ApaI, VDR FokI and PMOP susceptibility. Subgroup analysis showed that VDR ApaI polymorphism significantly decreased the osteoporosis risk in Caucasian postmenopausal women. In Asian populations, VDR BsmI and VDR FokI were associated with an increased risk of PMOP. As to the associations between VDR polymorphisms and BMD, Caucasian PMOP women carrying the ApaI aa genotype were at risk of high BMD in femoral neck, and low femoral neck BMD was observed in Caucasian PMOP women with FokI Ff genotype. PMOP women with the Cdx2 GA genotype had a lower lumbar spine BMD in overall and Caucasian populations compared with PMOP women with GG genotype. Different VDR gene polymorphisms have different impacts on PMOP risk and BMD.

Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Variation With Osteoporosis Risk in Belarusian and Lithuanian Postmenopausal Women. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2018; 9:305.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is one of the main mediators of vitamin D biological activity. VDR dysfunction might substantially contribute to development of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). Numerous studies have revealed the effects of several VDR gene variants on osteoporosis risk, although significant variation in different ethnicities have been suggested. The main purpose of this work was to assess the frequency of distribution of VDR genetic variants with established effect and evaluate their haplotype association with the risk of PMO in a cohort of Belarusian and Lithuanian women. Case group included women with PMO (n = 149), the control group comprised women with normal bone mineral density (BMD) and without previous fragility fractures (n = 172). Both groups were matched for age, height, sex, and BMI-no statistically significant differences observed. VDR gene polymorphic variants (ApaI rs7975232, BsmI rs1544410, TaqI rs731236, and Cdx2 rs11568820) were determined using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. The lumbar spine (L1-L4) and femoral neck BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Association between each VDR variant and PMO risk was assessed using multiple logistic regression. The genotyping revealed statistically significant difference in the rs7975232 genotype frequencies between the patients and the controls (homozygous C/C genotype was overrepresented in patients, p = 0.008). Patients with osteoporosis were also three times more likely to carry the rs1544410 G/G genotype, when compared to controls. We found that rs7975232, rs1544410, and rs731236 variants were in a strong direct linkage disequilibrium (p < 0.0001), suggesting that risk alleles of these markers are preferably inherited jointly. For the bearers of C-G-C haplotype (consisting of rs7975232, rs1544410, and rs731236 unfavorable alleles), the risk of PMO was significantly higher (OR = 4.7, 95% CI 2.8-8.1, p < 0.0001) compared to controls. This haplotype was significantly over-represented in PMO group compared to all other haplotypes. Our findings highlight the importance of identified haplotypes of VDR gene variants. Complex screening of these genetic markers can be used to implement personalized clinical approach for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation programs.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a polygenic disorder that is determined by the effects of several genes, each with relatively modest effects on bone mass. The aim of this study was to determine whether the vitamin D receptor single nucleotide polymorphism BsmI is associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in Spanish postmenopausal women. A total of 210 unrelated healthy postmenopausal women aged 60 ± 8 years were genotyped using TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays. Lumbar and femoral BMD were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Daily calcium and vitamin D intake were determined by a food questionnaire. No differences were found in the femoral neck, trochanter, Ward’s Triangle, L2, L3, L4, L2-L4, or between the femoral neck and total hip BMD after further adjustment for potential confounding factors (P > 0.05) (age, BMI, years since menopause and daily calcium intake). The BsmI polymorphism in the VDR gene was not associated with BMD in Spanish postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a health concern characterized by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of fragility fractures. Many studies have investigated the association between genetic variants and osteoporosis. Polymorphism and allelic variations in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) have been found to be associated with bone mineral density. However, many studies have not been able to find this association. Literature review was conducted in several databases, including MEDLINE/Pubmed, Scopus, EMBASE, Ebsco, Science Citation Index Expanded, Ovid, Google Scholar, Iran Medex, Magiran and Scientific Information Database (SID) for papers published between 2000 and 2013 describing the association between Fok1 and Bsm1 polymorphisms of the VDR gene and osteoporosis risk. The majority of the revealed papers were conducted on postmenopausal women. Also, more than 50% studies reported significant relation between Fok1, Bsm1 and osteoporosis. Larger and more rigorous analytical studies with consideration of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions are needed to further dissect the mechanisms by which VDR polymorphisms influence osteoporosis.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of veiled clothing style on bone mineral density (BMD). The BMD measurements were performed on the femoral neck and the lumbar spines of adult female population with two different types of clothing taking calcium daily in the normal range according to the proper technique utilizing dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). In the lumbar spine measurements, the BMD was measured 1.0020 +/- 0.177 gr/cm2 in cases with veiled clothing style while it was measured 1.0793 +/- 0.169 gr/cm2 in cases with unveiled clothing style (P = 0.049, t = 1.98). In the femoral neck measurements, the BMD was measured 0.8428 +/- 0.146 gr/cm2 in cases with veiled clothing style while it was measured 0.8532 +/- 0.177 in cases with unveiled clothing style (P = 0.548, t = 0.457). Although a decrease in BMD values was observed in both regions with veiled clothing style, only the change in the lumbar spine BMD measurements was statistically significant. These findings suggest that the veiled clothing style may have an adverse effect on BMD by interfering with the sun exposure which is believed to have a key role in bone strength.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of bilateral oophorectomy with total abdominal hysterectomy on bone loss, comparing the cases having surgery before and after the menopause. Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were obtained from the lumbar spine and femoral neck of totally 127 cases. Out of 127, 105 had surgery before menopause and 22 cases were operated on postmenopausally. The results were compared with the USA normal values. The average age of surgical menopause (SM) cases was 48.45 years with a mean duration of menopause of 5.77 years. The average height and weight were 157.67 cm and 68.19 kg, respectively. The average age of cases having surgery after menopause (SAM) was 62.45 years with a mean duration of 5.59 years after the surgery (duration after menopause is 13.23 years). The average height and weight were 157.45 cm and 73.55 kg, respectively. The average of BMD measurements of lumbar spines L2-L4 was 1.04 gr/cm(2) (BMD = 85.65% and T score = -0.96) in the cases with SM. On the contrary, the average of the BMD measurements of lumbar spines L2-L4 was 1.05 gr/cm(2) (BMD = 101.14% and T score = 0.24) in the cases with SAM. The average of the BMD measurements of femoral neck was 0.85 gr/cm(2) (BMD = 91.39% and T score = -0.64) in the cases with SM. On the contrary, the average of the BMD measurements of femoral neck was 0.82 gr/cm(2) (BMD = 96.69% and T score = -0.31) in the cases with SAM. The bilateral oophorectomy as a surgical procedure is not a statistically significant factor for the acceleration of the bone loss. The main points are the age and the duration of menopause of the patient affecting the bone loss if the surgery is performed before menopause.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is commonly associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) due to numerous factors. BsmI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Vitamin D has several immunomodulatory effects and thus may play a role in the course of arthritis. However, little data is available on the possible relationship between RA and VDR gene polymorphisms. In this study, the frequency of BsmI polymorphism genotypes were compared with that found in other countries. In this study, 64 RA patients and 40 healthy controls were tested for VDR gene BsmI polymorphism genotypes. Frequencies of B and b alleles were associated with markers of bone metabolism and RA. Among control subjects, the frequency of the BB genotype is relatively high (27.5%). In RA with secondary osteopenia/osteoporosis the BB genotype was more rare, the bb was more common than in control subjects. Markers of bone metabolism were associated with the B allele. RA patients carrying the B allele had lower BMD and increased bone loss over 1 year. The B allele was also correlated with increased osteoclast and osteoblast function, as determined by the assessment of biochemical markers of bone metabolism. Rheumatoid factor titer, which is an independent marker for disease progression in RA, was higher in bb patients. Our data suggest, that the imbalance in B and b allele expression may be involved in the pathogenesis of RA-associated osteoporosis. The possible involvement of vitamin D and VDR gene polymorphisms in the development and progression of RA needs further elucidation.

Abstract
Interleukin-6 (IL6) has many roles essential to the regulation of the immune response, hematopoiesis, and bone resorption. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the IL6 promoter region were genotyped by the single-base extension method. The frequencies of each SNP were 0.002 ( IL6-597 G--> A), 0.27 ( IL6-572 G--> C), and 0.002 ( IL6-174 G--> C) in a Korean population ( n=1,082). IL6-597 G--> A and IL6-174 G--> C were totally linked together ( d(2)=1) and showed very low allele frequencies (0.002), which are common in Caucasians. On the other hand, the frequency of the IL6-572 G--> C*C allele was much higher (0.27) than that in Caucasian populations (<0.07). One of the IL6 promoter SNPs, viz., IL6-572 G--> C, showed significant associations with bone mineral density (BMD), i.e., the C allele was associated with increased BMD ( P=0.02, co-dominant model; P=0.007, dominant model). The mean BMD was highest in homozygous C individuals (0.67+/-0.15), lowest in homozygous G individuals (0.58+/-0.19), and intermediate in heterozygotes (0.64+/-0.21). In the present study, we describe a variant in the IL6 promoter region that shows positive association with higher BMD in a gene-dose-dependent manner in pre-menopausal women.
