Abstract
Background and Aim Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM). The present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of VDR polymorphisms in diabetic individuals with healthy periodontium (DMH), diabetic individuals with periodontitis (DMP), nondiabetic individuals with healthy periodontium (H), and nondiabetic individuals with periodontitis (P). Material and Methods A total of 200 individuals (DMH = 40, DMP = 60, H = 40, and P = 60) were recruited. All clinical periodontal parameters, demographical, and biochemical variables were recorded. Blood samples were collected, and genomic DNA was isolated by Purelink® Genomic DNA Mini Kit. Genotyping of VDR polymorphisms ApaI, BsmI, FokI, and TaqI were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using allele-specific probes. Results The distribution of the BsmI variant showed differences between DMH and H groups (P = 0.034). In addition, carrying the GG genotype (OR = 0.317; 95% CI = 0.126-0.797; P = 0.013) and the G allele (OR = 2.373; 95% CI = 1.203-4.681; P = 0.012) increased the risk of type 2 DM. Moreover, it was determined that the frequency of CC genotype of FokI variant was higher in DMP compared to DMH (P = 0.046). It was determined that having the CC genotype (OR = 2.706; 95% CI = 1.185-6.176; P = 0.017) and the C allele (OR = 1.917; 95% CI = 0.995-3.694; P = 0.049) increased the risk of periodontitis among diabetic individuals. No differences were detected among groups in the genotype and allele distributions of ApaI and TaqI variants (P > 0.05). Conclusions The present study showed that the BsmI variant was a risk factor for DM among periodontally healthy individuals and the FokI variant for periodontitis among diabetic individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between the abnormal root morphology and bone metabolism or root development related gene polymorphism in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis. METHODS In the study, 179 patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis were enrolled, with an average age of (27.23±5.19) years, male / female = 67/112. The average number of teeth remaining in the mouth was (26.80±1.84). Thirteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of nine genes which related to bone metabolism and root development were detected by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Root abnormalities were identified using periapical radiographs. The abnormal root morphology included cone-rooted teeth, slender-root teeth, short-rooted teeth, curved-rooted teeth, syncretic-rooted molars, and molar root abnormalities. The number of teeth and incidence of abnormal root morphology in different genotypes of 13 SNPs were analyzed. RESULTS The constituent ratio of root with root abnormality in GAgP patients was 14.49%(695/4 798). The average number of teeth with abnormal root morphology in GAgP was (3.88±3.84). The average number of teeth with abnormal root morphology in CC, CT and TT genotypes in vitamin D receptor (VDR) rs2228570 was (4.66±4.10), (3.71±3.93) and (2.68±2.68). There was significant difference between TT genotype and CC genotype (t = 2.62, P =0.01). The average number of root morphological abnormalities in CC, CT and TT genotypes of Calcitotin Receptor (CTR) gene rs2283002 was (5.02±3.70), (3.43±3.95), and (3.05±3.12). The incidence of root morphological abnormalities in CC genotype was higher than that in the patients with CT and TT, and the difference was statistically significant(87.86% vs. 65.26% & 63.64%, P=0.006, adjusted OR =3.71, 95%CI: 1.45-9.50). There was no significant difference in the incidence of abnormal root morphology between CT and TT genotypes. CONCLUSION VDR rs2228570 and CTR rs2283002 may be associated with the occurrence of abnormal root morphology in patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis, which is worthy of further research.

Abstract
Many studies have tried to elucidate the connection between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene (ApaI) polymorphism and periodontitis; however, so far there is no consensus. To further assess the impact of ApaI polymorphism on periodontitis risk, we have conducted a meta-analysis of Chinese population. Relevant literatures were searched according to PubMed and Chinese database in January 2019. The strength of correlation was evaluated by combining odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs). Six case-control studies were identified with inclusion criteria, including 734 cases of periodontitis and 687 controls. Based on the overall analysis, the VDR ApaI polymorphism was not due to the risk of periodontitis in all models. Subgroup analysis showed that the risk of periodontitis in North China was significantly reduced. To sum up, the study shows that VDR-ApaI polymorphism may be connected with a lower risk of periodontitis in northern China. It is suggested that inferential studies should be conducted in other ethnic groups.

Abstract
Background: To assess whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms influence the susceptibility to periodontitis. Methods: We retrieved 34 relevant studies, comprising a total of 3848 subjects suffering from periodontitis and 3470 controls for this meta-analysis. The pooled data were analyzed using STATA software. Results: Among all ethnic groups examined, the VDR BsmI polymorphism was associated with periodontitis under the recessive model (odds ratio [OR] = 0.722, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.532-0.980, p = 0.037). There was also a link between the VDR FokI polymorphism and periodontitis in the overall population (dominant model: OR = 1.459, 95% CI: 1.050-2.028, p = 0.025 and allelic model: OR = 1.386, 95% CI: 1.026-1.874, p = 0.034) and in Chinese participants (dominant model: OR = 1.813, 95% CI: 1.185-2.774, p = 0.006; allelic model: OR = 1.602, 95% CI: 1.044-2.459, p = 0.031) when stratified by race. The FokI variant was also correlated with aggressive periodontitis (AP) (dominant model: OR = 2.204, 95% CI: 1.148-4.231, p = 0.018; allelic model: OR = 2.017, 95% CI: 1.365-2.980, p = 0.000; and recessive model: OR = 2.903, 95% CI: 1.520-5.542, p = 0.001). We also showed a correlation between the VDR TaqI variant and periodontitis susceptibility in Caucasian populations (dominant model: OR = 0.525, 95% CI: 0.318-0.866, p = 0.012). The results revealed that there was no relationship between the VDR ApaI gene polymorphism and periodontitis. Conclusions: There was a link between the VDR BsmI and FokI gene polymorphisms and periodontitis in the overall population. In addition, the FokI polymorphism was correlated with AP. There was a link between the TaqI polymorphism and periodontitis in the Caucasian population. The VDR Apal variant, however, was not correlated with periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease characterized by inflammatory responses to increased levels of subgingival pathogens, resulting in connective tissue destruction and alveolar bone loss. The susceptibility of an individual is determined by the complex interplay of the host, genetic, and environmental factors. Vitamin D, a secosteroid hormone, interacts with its nuclear receptor vitamin D receptor (VDR) to regulate crucial biological processes, such as bone metabolism and immune function modulation. Various studies have been conducted in different populations to analyze the association of VDR gene polymorphisms with chronic periodontitis, as these polymorphisms have been demonstrated to play vital roles in the pathogenesis of other diseases. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and association of the VDR TaqI gene polymorphism with severe chronic periodontitis in an Ethnic Tamilian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 140 subjects were recruited for the study, of which 70 were diagnosed with severe chronic periodontitis and 70 had healthy gums. Each subject's medical and dental histories were taken, and periodontal examinations were performed. Genomic DNA was extracted and genotyping of the VDR gene at the TaqI site was carried out using polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles were analyzed between the study groups. RESULTS The frequency of homozygous TT genotype was 40%, for both the severe chronic periodontitis and the healthy control groups. The distribution of heterozygous Tt genotype was 42.9% in the severe chronic periodontitis group and 47.1% in the healthy control group. The frequency of homozygous tt genotype was 17.1% in the severe chronic periodontitis group and 12.7% in the healthy control group. Although the prevalence of genotype tt and t allele was slightly increased in severe chronic periodontitis patients compared with healthy controls, the frequency of VDR genotype between the study groups was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.751). CONCLUSION This present study performed in an Ethnic Tamilian population does not support an association between either of the TaqI alleles within the VDR gene and Severe Chronic Periodontitis.

Abstract
Purpose Dental caries is a multifactorial infectious disease. In this study, we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene were associated with susceptibility to permanent tooth caries in Chinese adolescents. Method A total of 200 dental caries patients and 200 healthy controls aged 12 years were genotyped for VDR gene polymorphisms using the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. All of them were examined for their oral and dental status with the WHO criteria, and clinical information such as the Decayed Missing Filled Teeth Index (DMFT) was evaluated. Genomic DNA was extracted from the buccal epithelial cells. The four polymorphic SNPs (Bsm I, Taq I, Apa I, and Fok I) in VDR were assessed for both genotypic and phenotypic susceptibilities. Results Among the four examined VDR gene polymorphisms, the increased frequency of the CT and CC genotype of the Fok I VDR gene polymorphism was associated with dental caries in 12-year-old adolescent, compared with the controls (X2 = 17.813, p ≤ 0.001). Moreover, Fok I polymorphic allele C frequency was significantly increased in the dental caries cases, compared to the controls (X2 = 14.144, p ≤ 0.001, OR = 1.730, 95% CI = 1.299–2.303). However, the other three VDR gene polymorphisms (Bsm I, Taq I, and Apa I) showed no statistically significant differences in the caries groups compared with the controls. Conclusion VDR-Fok I gene polymorphisms may be associated with susceptibility to permanent tooth caries in Chinese adolescent.

Abstract
Background/purpose : Genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to the immune response and bone metabolism, both of which are implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. This study was to investigate the association between VDR-gene polymorphisms and periodontitis among a Taiwanese Han ethnic population. Materials and methods Ninety-two aggressive periodontitis (AgP), 385 chronic periodontitis (CP) and 163 healthy controls (HC) were recruited from dental clinics. Demographic characteristics and possible confounding factors were obtained using a self-reported questionnaire. The VDR rs731236 (TaqI), rs7975232 (ApaI), rs1544410 (BsmI), and rs2228570 (FokI) polymorphisms were genotyped using PCR-RFLP methods. Statistical analyses were applied to determine the associations. Results The individual VDR polymorphisms were not associated with risk of AgP and CP. The f allele of rs2228570 was related to decreased risk for AgP. Subjects with TAbF (adjusted OR = 7.2, 95% CI = 3.2–7.2, p < 0.0001) or TAbf (adjusted OR = 0.17, 95% CI = 0.05–0.48, p = 0.002) combined polymorphisms were significantly associated with AgP. Subjects with Tabf (adjusted OR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.8–3.8, p < 0.0001), TAbF (adjusted OR = 4.4, 95% CI = 2.6–8.1, p < 0.0001), TabF (adjusted OR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.2–0.5, p < 0.0001), or TAbf (adjusted OR = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.3–0.7, p = 0.001) combined polymorphisms were significantly associated with CP. Conclusion The study indicates that VDR gene polymorphisms are associated with AgP and CP in a Taiwanese Han population.

Abstract
Background In the present study, we explored the link between vitamin D receptor (VDR) BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI gene polymorphisms with deciduous tooth decay in Chinese children. Methods Our study included 380 Chinese children aged 4–7 years, whose DNA sample was collected from the buccal mucosa. VDR gene polymorphisms was determined by PCR-RFLP. Results The adjusted logistic regression analysis demonstrated that BsmI containing the Bb genotype was linked with the increased risk of deciduous tooth decay (OR = 1.856, 95% CI = [1.184, 2.908], p = 0.007). However, VDR polymorphisms ApaI, TaqI and FokI were not associated with deciduous tooth decay (ApaI: OR = 0.839, 95% CI = [0.614, 1.145], p = 0.268; TaqI: OR = 1.150, 95% CI = [0.495, 2.672], p = 0.744; FokI: OR = 0.856, 95% CI = [0.616, 1.191], p = 0.356). Conclusions Our results showed that VDR BsmI polymorphism was associated with the risk of deciduous tooth decay in Chinese children aged 4–7 years. However, the specific mechanism remains to further verify through experiment.

Clin Exp Dent Res 2016; 2:208-215. [PMID: 29744169 PMCID: PMC5839215 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.40] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2016] [Revised: 05/17/2016] [Accepted: 06/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Several studies have addressed cytokine gene polymorphisms and their possible associations with periodontitis. We examined the association between salivary anti- and pro-inflammatory mediator polymorphisms and initial periodontitis in Finnish adolescents, taking into account the effect of smoking. Salivary samples of 93 clinically examined adolescents from Eastern Finland were analyzed. Their oral health and smoking habits were recorded. Periodontal probing depth (PPD), and bleeding on probing (BOP) at four sites per tooth, root calculus (RC), and visible plaque index (VPI) were recorded from the index teeth. Salivary MMP-8 median values were assessed. The sites with ≥4 mm PD were categorized as follows: PPD1 = one or more ≥4 mm pocket, PPD2 = two or more ≥4 mm pockets, and PPD3 = three or more ≥4 mm pockets. Genomic DNA was extracted from 300 μl of the saliva samples by genomic QIAamp® DNA Blood Mini Kit and genotyped for polymorphisms. Genetic variants for genotyping were selected from the following genes of interest: S100A8, FCGR2A, FCGR2B, IL10, MMP8, MMP3, MMP13, VDR, TLR4, MMP2, MPO, ELANE, IL1A, IL1B, IL1RN, CD28, MMP9, DDX39B, NFKBIL1, LTA, TNF, SOD2, IL6, TLR4, TIMP1, and SYN1. After false discovery rate control (FDR), polymorphisms in MMP3 (rs679620, rs520540, rs639752), CD28 (rs3116496), and VDR (rs2228570) associated (FDR q < 0.05) with deepened periodontal pockets. Smoking did not affect the results. Genetic polymorphisms of pro-inflammatory mediators MMP3, CD28, and VDR seem to link to initial periodontitis.

Abstract
Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) is the main transport protein of vitamin D and plays an important role in the immune system and host defenses. The purpose of this study was to measure DBP levels in plasma and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP), in comparison to healthy controls, with the goal of elucidating the relationship between DBP and GAgP. Fifty-nine GAgP patients and 58 healthy controls were recruited for the study; clinical parameters of probing depths (PD), bleeding index, and attachment loss (AL) were recorded. DBP levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. From the results, GAgP patients had higher plasma DBP concentrations (P < 0.001) but lower GCF DBP concentrations (P < 0.001) than healthy controls. In GAgP group, after controlling the potential confounders of age, gender, smoking status, and BMI index, GCF DBP concentrations correlated negatively with PD (P < 0.001) and AL (P = 0.009). Within the limits of the study, we concluded that decreased GCF DBP level and increased plasma DBP level are associated with periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fracture is the major clinical outcome of osteoporosis. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is thought to be a candidate gene for osteoporosis. Many genetic studies have suggested an association of VDR polymorphisms and fracture risk, but evidence remains conflicting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic effect of the BsmI, TaqI, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms in the VDR gene on fracture risk in postmenopausal women. METHODS Relevant studies were identified from the following electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science before September 2013. Statistical analysis was performed by using the software STATA 12.0. A total 1975 fracture cases and 4565 controls in 14 studies with a total of 16 eligible comparisons were identified for data analysis. RESULTS No evidence of relationship between the VDR BsmI, TaqI, ApaI or FokI polymorphisms and fracture risk was observed with any genetic model in postmenopausal women (BsmI: b vs. B: odds ratio (OR) 1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.90-1.29; TaqI: T vs. t: OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.68-1.15; ApaI: A vs. a: OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.76-1.08; FokI: F vs. f: OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.76-1.90). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that ApaI, BsmI, TaqI and FokI polymorphisms may be not associated with the risk of fracture in postmenopausal women. Further studies in a larger sample population are required to confirm this finding.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence on the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms and periodontal disease is inconsistent. We investigated associations between four VDR single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including rs731236 (TaqI), rs7975232 (ApaI), rs1544410 (BsmI) and rs2228570 (FokI), and the risk of periodontal disease among young Japanese women. Cases included 131 women who had at least one tooth with a probing depth of 3.5 mm or deeper. Controls included 1019 women without periodontal disease. Adjustment was made for age, region of residence, education, toothbrushing frequency and use of an interdental brush. Compared with the AA genotype of SNP rs731236, the GG genotype had a significantly increased risk of periodontal disease: the adjusted OR was 3.68 (95% confidence interval: 1.06-12.78). There were no significant relationships between SNPs rs7975232, rs1544410 or rs2228570 and periodontal disease. None of the haplotypes were significantly related to periodontal disease. Compared with subjects with the AA or AG genotype of SNP rs731236 who had never smoked, those with the GG genotype who had ever smoked had a significantly increased risk of periodontal disease; nevertheless, neither multiplicative nor additive interaction was significant. The additive interaction between SNP rs7975232 and smoking was significant, although the multiplicative interaction was not statistically significant. No multiplicative or additive interactions were observed between the other SNPs and smoking. Our results indicated that VDR SNP rs731236 might be associated with periodontal disease. In addition, we present new evidence for a biological interaction between VDR SNP rs7975232 and smoking that affects periodontal disease.

J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol 2013; 133:51-7.

Abstract
The present study investigated the association between variants in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) and protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 2 gene (PTPN2), as well as an interaction between VDR and PTPN2 and the risk of islet autoimmunity (IA) and progression to type 1 diabetes (T1D). The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in the Young (DAISY) has followed children at increased risk of T1D since 1993. Of the 1692 DAISY children genotyped for VDR rs1544410, VDR rs2228570, VDR rs11568820, PTPN2 rs1893217, and PTPN2 rs478582, 111 developed IA, defined as positivity for GAD, insulin or IA-2 autoantibodies on 2 or more consecutive visits, and 38 IA positive children progressed to T1D. Proportional hazards regression analyses were conducted. There was no association between IA development and any of the gene variants, nor was there evidence of a VDR*PTPN2 interaction. Progression to T1D in IA positive children was associated with the VDR rs2228570 GG genotype (HR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.26-0.92) and there was an interaction between VDR rs1544410 and PTPN2 rs1893217 (p(interaction)=0.02). In children with the PTPN2 rs1893217 AA genotype, the VDR rs1544410 AA/AG genotype was associated with a decreased risk of T1D (HR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.11-0.53, p=0.0004), while in children with the PTPN2 rs1893217 GG/GA genotype, the VDR rs1544410 AA/AG genotype was not associated with T1D (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 0.43-4.06, p=0.62). These findings should be replicated in larger cohorts for confirmation. The interaction between VDR and PTPN2 polymorphisms in the risk of progression to T1D offers insight concerning the role of vitamin D in the etiology of T1D.

Abstract
Human gingival epithelial cells (GEC) produce peptides, such as β-defensins and the cathelicidin LL-37, that are both antimicrobial and that modulate the innate immune response. In myeloid and airway epithelial cells, the active form of vitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] increases the expression and antibacterial activity of LL-37. To examine the activity of vitamin D on the innate immune defense of the gingival epithelium, cultured epithelial cells were treated with either 10(-8) M 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) or ethanol for up to 24 h. A time-dependent induction of LL-37 mRNA up to 13-fold at 24 h in both standard monolayer and three-dimensional cultures was observed. Induction of the vitamin D receptor and the 1-α-hydroxylase genes was also observed. The hydroxylase was functional, as LL-37 induction was observed in response to stimulation by 25(OH)D(3). Through microarray analysis of other innate immune genes, CD14 expression increased 4-fold, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) was upregulated 16-fold after 24 h of treatment with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). TREM-1 is a pivotal amplifier of the innate immune response in macrophages, leading to increased production by inflammatory response genes. Activation of TREM-1 on the GEC led to an increase in interleukin-8 (IL-8) mRNA levels. Incubation of three-dimensional cultures with 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) led to an increase in antibacterial activity against the periodontal pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans when the bacteria were added to the apical surface. This study is the first to demonstrate the effect of vitamin D on antibacterial defense of oral epithelial cells, suggesting that vitamin D(3) could be utilized to enhance the innate immune defense in the oral cavity.

Abstract
AIM A meta-analysis was conducted in order to investigate the potential association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to aggressive and chronic periodontal disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS A database search yielded a total of 15 studies involving 1338 cases and 1302 controls. Four polymorphisms were included in the meta-analysis: VDR TaqI (rs731236), VDR BsmI (rs1544410), VDR FokI (rs2228570), and VDR ApaI (rs7975232). Odds ratios (ORs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed to compare the distribution of alleles and genotypes between cases and controls. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The combined results based on all studies showed that (1) chronic periodontitis cases had a significantly lower frequency of bb genotype of BsmI [OR=0.63, 95% CI=0.42, 0.94; p=0.02] in Asians; (2) chronic periodontitis cases had a significantly higher frequency of AA genotype of ApaI (OR=2.20, 95% CI=1.39, 3.48; p<0.001) in Asians; (3) chronic periodontitis cases had a weak significantly higher frequency of TT genotype of TaqI (OR=1.86, 95% CI=1.002, 3.46; p=0.049) in Asians. After Bonferroni's correction, we found that in Asians chronic periodontitis cases still had a significantly higher frequency of AA genotype of ApaI. No significant difference was found in any genotype of FokI. No association was found for all the VDR gene polymorphisms examined as far as the aggressive form of the disease is concerned. Future studies need to focus on the possible biological consequences and mechanisms of the VDR genetic variants. The current findings confirm that VDR gene is a candidate gene for periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D is associated with a number of inflammatory diseases and plays a significant role in regulating bone metabolism. Serum calcifediol was demonstrated to be potentially associated with periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether an association exists between plasma calcifediol concentrations and aggressive periodontitis (AgP) and whether plasma levels of bone-related biomarkers (osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, calcium, and phosphorus) regulated by vitamin D are related to AgP. METHODS Sixty-six patients with generalized AgP, 52 patients with chronic periodontitis, and 60 healthy controls were included in this study. Periodontal examination consisted of probing depth, attachment loss, and bleeding index measurements. Hematic calcifediol and bone-related biomarker levels were detected using radioimmunity assay kits or a biochemical analyzer. RESULTS Plasma calcifediol levels in patients with AgP were higher than those of healthy controls (29.28 versus 21.60 nmol/l; P <0.05) and were statistically significantly correlated with bleeding index (r = 0.321; P <0.05). Plasma osteocalcin concentrations in patients with AgP were higher than those of healthy controls (0.90 versus 0.70 ng/ml; P <0.05). Serum inorganic phosphorus values of both periodontitis groups were lower than those of healthy controls (1.06 +/- 0.18 mmol/l and 1.10 +/- 0.15 mmol/l versus 1.26 +/- 0.17 mmol/l; P <0.05). CONCLUSION Plasma calcifediol levels might be associated with periodontal inflammation.

Abstract
The clinical features suggest that genetic factors may have a strong influence on susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between FokI (rs2228570) and BsmI (rs1544410) of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and patients with CAD in a Chinese population. One hundred and fifty-two CAD patients and 212 healthy controls were genotyped for the FokI and BsmI polymorphisms in VDR gene using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. No significant differences were observed in the genotype and allele frequencies of the FokI and BsmI polymorphisms between the cases and controls (For FokI: odds ratio = 1.11, 95% confidence interval 0.83-1.50; for BsmI: odds ratio = 0.74, 95% confidence interval 0.44-1.23). There was no significant difference in the genotype distribution or the allele frequencies of VDR FokI and BsmI between two groups in a Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic periodontitis (CP) exhibits inflammation and alveolar bone loss, and severe forms of periodontitis are suggested to have a genetic basis. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) regulates bone metabolism and inflammation-related genes, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the VDR gene may affect the functional activity of the VDR protein in CP. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the association between VDR SNPs and severe CP in a Chinese population. METHODS DNA was obtained from 107 patients with severe CP and 121 control subjects. The BsmI, TaqI, ApaI, and FokI SNPs of VDR genes were investigated by restriction fragment length polymorphism of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. The digested PCR products were electrophoresed on an 8% polyacrylamide gel and developed by the DNA silver staining method. RESULTS The distribution of VDR TaqI genotypes and alleles between the two groups was significantly different (P = 0.019 and P = 0.039, respectively). The TT genotype and T allele seemed to increase the susceptibility of severe CP (odds ratio, 2.75; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17 to 6.47; odds ratio, 2.28, 95% CI: 1.02 to 5.06, respectively) in Chinese populations. There was no significant difference in the genotype distribution or the allele frequencies of VDR BsmI, ApaI, or FokI between the two groups. CONCLUSION TaqI SNP of VDR gene might be associated with severe CP in Chinese patients.
