Abstract
Vitamin D acts through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), and vitamin D level decreases in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in VDR alter its functions to affect the vitamin D status. This raises the question of whether VDR gene polymorphisms are associated with MM risk, which has been investigated in case‒control studies, but the results have been inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between VDR gene polymorphisms and MM risk. The PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal (VIP), Wanfang Databases (WANFANG) were searched from inception to June 1, 2023, without language restriction or publication preference. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each variable were calculated. Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the source of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed using Begg' and Egger's tests, and the trim-and-fill method was used to compensate for publication bias. The correlation meta-analysis was conducted using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 and STATA 12.0 software. All the included studies were based on Asian populations and involved four VDR gene polymorphisms, TaqI (rs731236), ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410) and FokI (rs2228570). The results showed that TaqI (C vs. T: OR = 1.487, 95% CI 1.052, 2.104, P = 0.025; CC + CT vs. TT: OR = 1.830, 95% CI 1.138, 2.944, P = 0.013), ApaI (T vs. G: OR = 1.292, 95% CI 1.101, 1.517, P = 0.002; TT vs. GG: OR = 1.600, 95% CI 1.106, 2.314, P = 0.013; TG vs. GG: OR 1.305, 95% CI 1.050, 1.622; P = 0.016; TT + TG vs. GG: OR = 1.353, 95% CI 1.103, 1.662, P = 0.004), BsmI (GG vs. AA: OR = 1.918, 95% CI 1.293, 2.844, P = 0.001; GA vs. AA: OR = 1.333, 95% CI 1.058, 1.679, P = 0.015; G vs. A: OR = 1.398, 95% CI 1.180, 1.657, P = 0.000; GG vs. AA + GA: OR = 1.686, 95% CI 1.174, 2.423, P = 0.005), and FokI (T vs. C: OR = 1.687, 95% CI 1.474, 1.931, P = 0.000; TT vs. CC: OR = 2.829, 95% CI 2.066, 3.872, P = 0.000; TC vs. CC: OR = 1.579, 95% CI 1.304, 1.913, P = 0.000, TT + TC vs. CC: OR = 1.771, 95% CI 1.477, 2.125, P = 0.000; TT vs. CC + TC: OR = 2.409, 95% CI 1.814, 3.200, P = 0.000) are associated with MM risk. VDR gene polymorphisms including ApaI, BsmI, TaqI, and FokI are associated with MM risk in Asian populations. Additional studies with large sample sizes and different ethnicities are needed.

Abstract
Background Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene alterations have been associated with the occurrence and prognosis of various types of cancers, but only few studies have focussed on gastric cancer (GC) risk. Objectives This case-control study was conceived to evaluate possible association of VDR polymorphisms (Fok1, Taq1, and Cdx2) with GC risk. Materials and Methods A total of 293 subjects, including 143 GC patients and 150 controls were included in this study. The genotypes were elucidated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism followed by DNA sequencing. Results The frequency of Fok1 genotypes (TC and TT) was found higher in GC cases compared to controls (P ≤ 0.05). In the stratified analysis, we observed a significant association of the (CT + TT) variant with GC risk in males, rural dwellers, smokers, and preobese cases, and those having no family history of Gastrointestinal cancer (P ≤ 0.05). In silico analysis predicted that the Fok1 variant impacts the stability and functional efficiency of the protein. Some exact haplotypes (CCG and CCA) of the VDR gene may act as low penetrance alleles in inclination to GC. Conclusion VDR Fok1 polymorphism is significantly associated with GC risk in the Kashmiri population. Specific haplotypes in the VDR gene could act synergistically in the development of GC.

Abstract
Aim: To perform a meta-analysis to assess the association between common VDR polymorphisms (Fok1, Taq1, Apa1, Bsm1) and keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs) susceptibility. Methods & materials: databases were searched up to November 2021. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% CIs were evaluated in the association. Results: This meta-analysis included seven articles. KC (and its subtypes) risks are found to be associated with Fok1 (BCC: ff vs FF+Ff: OR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.14-3.97; SCC: ff vs FF+Ff: OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.09-2.18) and Taq1 (BCC: Tt vs TT: OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.35-2.93; tt vs TT: OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.27-3.43; Tt +tt vs TT: OR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.41-2.90) polymorphisms. Conclusion: This study suggests that the Fok1 f allele and the Taq1 t allele are associated with increased susceptibility to KC and its subtypes.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies, currently ranking third among cancers leading to death worldwide. Despite the recent advancements in GC research, it is most often diagnosed during the terminal stages and with limited treatment modalities contributing to its poor prognosis and a lower survival rate. Much research has provided conflicting results between a vitamin D deficient status and the development of GC. Vitamin D is a well-known and essential hormone classically known to regulate calcium and phosphate absorption, enabling adequate mineralization of the skeletal system. However, the function of vitamin D is multidimensional. It possesses unique roles, including acting as antioxidants or immunomodulators while crossing the cell membrane, performing several intracellular functions, participating in gene regulation, and controlling the proliferation and invasion of cancer cells, including those of GC. In light of this, it is imperative to analyze the causes of GC, review the factors that can be used to enhance the effectiveness of treatments, and discover the tools to determine prognosis, reduce mortality, and prevent GC development. In this review, we have summarized recent investigations on multiple associations between vitamin D and GC, emphasizing genetic associations, vitamin D receptors, and the prevalence of hormone deficiency in those developing this aggressive malignancy.

Abstract
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates cellular processes like cell cycle arrest and apoptosis which effect cancer susceptibility. VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have a significant influence on functioning of VDR protein and subsequently contribute to the risk of cancer occurrence and progression. The present case-control study was carried out between 2016 and 2020 to investigate the association of VDR BsmI/ApaITaqI SNPs with Gastric Cancer (GC) risk in ethnic Kashmiri population not only for establishing a molecular marker for GC but also to facilitate the outcomes of personalized medicine in future. The polymorphisms of BsmI and ApaI of the VDR gene were evaluated using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism followed by Di-Deoxy Sanger sequencing in 143 GC cases and 150 controls. The mean age (in years) was 53.5 ± 7.92 and 51.2 ± 8.25 and mean Body mass index was 22.68 ± 4.27 kg/m2 and 23.81 ± 3.71 kg/m2 for cases and controls respectively. The mean CEA levels of GC cases was 40.2 ± 10.9 ng/ml. Genotypic distribution of VDR BsmI differed significantly between GC cases and controls (GG vs GA + AA; adjusted P = 0.014) and followed dominant mode of inheritence. Stratification of VDR BsmI revealed that frequency of variant genotype (GA + AA) was significantly higher in Preobese GC cases (P = 0.001), GC patients consuming < 5 cups of salt tea/day (P < 0.0001) and with no family history of gastrointestinal cancer (P = 0.014) compared to healthy controls. ATC haplotype associated with high GC risk. In conclusion, our study suggests that VDR BsmI SNP has a significant association with increased risk of GC especially in preobese population and BsmI/ApaITaqI SNPs significantly decreased the overall survival in GC patients of Kashmiri population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present meta-analysis was to explore the association between FokI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene and lumbar spine disc degeneration. DESIGN The search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to January 2020. The authors selected nine studies comprising a total of 1549 cases and 1672 controls. The association analysis included the allelic, dominant, recessive, homozygous, and heterozygous genetic models. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate the association. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to measure the quality of the studies included in the analyses; a cut-off of 6 stars was applied. RESULTS This meta-analysis indicated that FokI polymorphism is significantly associated with lumbar degenerative disc disorder and disc herniation in the homozygous (odds ratio, 1.77; 95% confidence interval, 1.23-2.54; Z test P = 0.002, Q test P = 0.416) and recessive (odds ratio, 1.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.23-1.90; Z test P < 0.000, Q test P = 0.224) models. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the vitamin D receptor gene FokI polymorphism may be correlated with the risk of developing a lumbar degenerative disc disorder and disc herniation. However, the small sample population studied and the lack of an evaluation of environmental factors must be taken as limitations in the present meta-analysis.

Abstract
Background The association of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) and its receptor, vitamin D receptor (VDR), with cancer types have been studied. However, there are controversial findings regarding the association of specific VDR polymorphisms with different kinds of cancers. In the current study, we investigated the association of VDR polymorphisms (Fok1 (rs2228570), ApaI (rs7975232), BsmI (rs1544410), and TaqI (rs731236)) with the risk of gastric cancer in a Kurdish population of Kermanshah in Iran for the first time. Methods In this case-control study, the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used in 99 gastric cancer patients and 100 healthy subjects as controls. Results The frequencies of f (FokI), b (BsmI), t (TaqI), and a (ApaI) alleles were: 55.6%, 27.3%, 62.1%, and 44.95% in the patient group, respectively and 42%, 29.5%, 54.5%, and 46.0% in the control group, respectively. Analysis of the results indicated that there was a positive association between the frequency of FokI genotypes with gastric cancer risk (p= 0.021). However, no statistically significant association of BsmI, Taq1, and ApaI polymorphisms of VDR was detected in gastric patients when compared with healthy individuals. Conclusion VDR-FokI polymorphism could increase the risk of GC development and predispose to the disease by mechanisms.

Abstract
Increasing scientific evidence supports the link between vitamin D and cancer risk. The active metabolite 1,25(OH)2D exerts its activity by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR), an intracellular receptor that mediates transcriptional activation and repression of target genes. The binding of 1,25(OH)2D to VDR is able to regulate hundreds of different genes. VDR is active in virtually all tissues including the colon, breast, lung, ovary, bone, kidney, parathyroid gland, pancreatic b-cells, monocytes, T lymphocytes, melanocytes, keratinocytes, and also cancer cells.The relevance of VDR gene restriction fragment length polymorphisms for various types of cancer has been investigated by a great number of studies.We have carried out a systematic review of the literature to analyze the relevance of more VDR polymorphisms (Fok1, Bsm1, Taq1, Apa1, and Cdx2) for individual malignancies considering ethnicity as a key factor for heterogeneity.Up to December 2018, we identified 176 independent studies with data to assess the risk of breast, prostate, colorectal, skin (melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer), lung, ovarian, kidney, bladder, gallbladder, esophageal, thyroid, head and neck, liver and pancreatic cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma and sarcoma.Significant associations with VDR polymorphisms have been reported for prostate (Fok1, Bsm1, Taq1, Apa1, Cdx2), breast (Fok1, Bsm1, Taq1, Apa1, CdX2), colorectal (Fok1, Bsm1, Taq1, Apa1), and skin cancer (Fok1, Bsm1, Taq1). Very few studies reported risk estimates for the other cancer sites.Conflicting data have been reported for most malignancies, and at present, it is still not possible to make any definitive statements about the importance of the VDR genotype for cancer risk. It seems probable that other factors such as ethnicity, phenotype, 25(OH)D plasma levels, and UV radiation exposure play a role as confounding factors and introduce heterogeneity.To conclude, there is some indication that VDR polymorphisms may modulate the risk of some cancer sites and in future studies VDR genetic variation should be integrated also with assessment of vitamin D status and stratified by ethnicity.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the second cause of cancer-related mortality and the fourth most common cancers worldwide. Owing to the immune modulatory effect of vitamin D in the body, the role of vitamin D receptor gene in vitamin D regulation receives a great deal of research interest. The aim of the current study was to highlight the association between two variants of TaqI and FokI in the vitamin D receptor gene and gastric cancer predisposition in a sample of South Khorasan population. The present investigation consisted of 69 patients affected with gastric cancer and 100 healthy individuals. The genomic DNA was extracted by salting out the protocol from peripheral venous blood. Genotyping of TaqI and FokI variants were performed by PCR-RFLP method. Our findings manifested that TC genotype of TaqI polymorphism was statistically significant between the case and the control groups (p = 0.002). Moreover, the frequency of TC + CC genotypes was statistically significant between the two groups (p = 0.009). Furthermore, we could not find any meaningful association between FokI variant and the participant groups. The present results declared that, in our population, TC genotype of TaqI polymorphism has an association with gastric cancer susceptibility. In addition, more investigation with greater sample sizes is needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate vitamin D receptor polymorphisms in ocular surface squamous cell neoplasm and to evaluate the relationship between the identified polymorphisms and susceptibility to ocular surface squamous cell neoplasm and the clinical course. MATERIALS AND METHODS A totala of 70 patients with ocular surface squamous cell neoplasm (study group) and 75 healthy age and gender-matched individuals (control group) were included in the study. Vitamin D receptor FokI and BsmI polymorphisms were examined. The relationships between histopathological diagnosis, recurrence rates, tumor stage, and identified polymorphisms were investigated. RESULTS Histopathologically, 43 of the cases were squamous cell carcinoma and 27 of the cases were conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia. The frequency of FokI (FF, Ff, ff) and BsmI (BB, Bb, bb) polymorphism genotype of vitamin D receptor gene were similar in the groups. The frequency of polymorphism (heterozygous or homozygous) for BsmI (Bb and bb) was significantly higher (p = 0.046) in the study group, while no difference was found between the groups in terms of polymorphic carriers (heterozygous or homozygous) for FokI. There was no correlation between tumor stage, recurrence-polymorphism frequency, and patient age-polymorphism frequency. CONCLUSION It is known that active vitamin D inhibits the growth of cancer cells by binding to vitamin D receptor with regulation of genes responsible for cell proliferation. The presence of BsmI polymorphism in vitamin D receptor, in particular bb genotype and b allele, appears to be associated with the susceptibility of ocular surface squamous cell neoplasm. BsmI gene polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor might play an effective role in the formation, progression, and in the course of ocular surface squamous cell neoplasm.

Abstract
There have been few studies on the association between vitamin D levels and gastric cancer in Asian populations, but no studies have been performed on the interactions between vitamin D intake and polymorphisms in the vitamin D pathway. The effects of vitamin D intake, vitamin D related genetic polymorphisms, and their association with the incidence of gastric cancer were investigated in a hospital case-control study, including 715 pairs of newly diagnosed gastric cancer patients and controls matched for age and sex. Correlations between vitamin D intake and plasma vitamin D concentrations were also assessed in a subset of subjects. No statistically significant difference was observed in the dietary intake of vitamin D between the patients and controls, nor were there any evident associations between vitamin D intake and risk of gastric cancer in multivariate analyses. Vitamin D intake significantly correlated with the circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, but not with the active form of the vitamin, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. There were no statistically significant interactions between vitamin D intake, and VDR or TXNIP polymorphisms. This study suggests that dietary vitamin D intake is not associated with gastric cancer risk, and the genetic polymorphisms of vitamin D-related genes do not modulate the effect of vitamin D with respect to gastric carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, especially in Japan, Korea and China, and the 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer is less than 30%. Thus, it is important to shed more lights on novel agents to prevent gastric cancer or to improve survival rate of the patients. Vitamin D not only maintains calcium and bone homeostasis, but also mostly inhibits tumor genesis, invasion, and metastasis through activation of vitamin D receptor. Although epidemiological results are not consistent, accumulating evidence from gastric cancer cells, animal models, and clinical trials suggest that vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk and mortality of gastric cancer, but vitamin D supplement might be a safe and economical way to prevent or treat gastric cancer. Here, we reviewed the current studies on vitamin D and its receptor and focused on the pathogenic roles of their alterations in gastric tumorigenesis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective The present study aimed at investigating the association between hematological profile and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels and Fokl polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene in individuals with Cystic Fibrosis. Methods A cross-sectional study that involved 18 men and women aged 0-25 years with Cystic Fibrosis. Socio-demographic information and the factors associated with sun exposure were obtained. Weight, height, and arm circumference were also measured. Blood sample was collected for the analysis of biochemical parameters (25[OH]D, parathyroid hormone, and calcium levels and blood count) and for the validation of the presence of FokI polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene. Results Among the participants, 33.33% (n=6) had vitamin D deficiency (19.60±6.180 ng/mL), and 27.8% (n=5) presented with anemia and low weight for age. In terms of genotype, 5.6% (n=1) presented with the FF genotype, 72.3% (n=13) had the Ff genotype, and 22.2% (n=4) had the ff genotype. Serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with hemoglobin (p=0.008) and hematocrit (p=0.019) levels and leukocyte count (p=0.0114). No association was observed between 25(OH)D levels and the genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) (p=0.2451). In addition, an association was observed between FokI polymorphism and the total leukocyte count (p=0.01). Conclusion An association was observed between serum 25(OH)D levels and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and leukocyte count in individuals with Cystic Fibrosis. Moreover, FokI polymorphism was associated with total leukocyte count.

Abstract
1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,23(OH)2 D3) is known to play a dual role in cancer, by promoting or inhibiting carcinogenesis via 1,23(OH)2 D3 receptor (VDR) and phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN). Fok I polymorphism of VDR may indirectly influence the receptor levels through autoregulation. The involvement of neutral sphingomyelinase in the non-classic VDR-mediated genomic pathway response to 1,23(OH)2 D3 treatment has been reported. Until now no information were reported about Fok I polymorphism of VDR in NCI-N87 human gastric cancer cells and the relation between acid sphingomyelinase and 1,23(OH)2 D3. Herein, we showed that NCI-N87 human gastric cancer cells are homozygous for the Fok I 'C' allele; resulting in a three amino acid-truncated protein form of the VDR. Surprisingly 1,23(OH)2 D3 treatments strongly down-regulated the expression of VDR whereas acid sphingomyelinase and PTEN expression were upregulated. No changes of neutral sphingomyelinase expression were observed after 1,23(OH)2 D3 treatment, whereas acid sphingomyelinase activity increased. Furthermore 1,23(OH)2 D3 induced over-expression of caspase 8, CDKN2B, MAP3K5, cytochrome C apoptotic genes. Morphological analysis highlighted some very large round or oval cells and small cells with angular or fusiform extensions, confirmed by MIB-1 immunodetection and Hercep test. Taken together our results indicated that the action of 1,23(OH)2 D3 in gastric cancer cells was independent on 1,23(OH)2 D3 receptor and suggested the acid sphingomyelinase as a possible target to induce molecular events.

Abstract
Currently higher morbidity and mortality rates are observed in cancer diseases, especially sex-dependent cancers. A positive role of endogenous vitamin D concentration in cancer diseases has been reported in many publications. Furthermore, there has been observed a relationship between serum vitamin D and testosterone concentrations in an elderly Caucasian population carrying the vitamin D receptor FokI gene polymorphism. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the vitamin D receptor FokI polymorphism is associated with cancerogenesis in sex-dependent cancers. The MEDLINE and ResearchGate databases were used to search for articles up to January 2017, and 96 articles concerning the FokI polymorphism were chosen. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the strength of associations between polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor and cancer risk in the described populations. The fixed-effects model and the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model (with weights based on the inverse variance) were used to calculate summary odds ratios, and both within- and between-study variation were considered. Generally, the F variant reduces the risk of cancer by 4% (odds ratio = 0.96, p value = 0.0057). This effect is particularly evident in female sex-associated cancers (odds ratio = 0.96, 95% confidence interval: 0.93-0.99, p value = 0.0259), but it is not observed in non-sex-associated cancers. Polymorphism FokI is associated with breast and ovarian cancers.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate whether the FokⅠ polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene is associated with risk of gastric cancer.
METHODS: A total of 147 Uygur patients with gastric cancer (group A) were randomly selected from March 2013 to May 2015 in the Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, and 151 healthy Uygur people (group B) were used as controls. The FokⅠ polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method, followed by an intergroup comparison. By PCR-RFLP test, all the patients with gastric cancer were divided into an FF group (a) and an Ff + ff group (b) according to whether the patient carried the allele f. The D-dimer level of the two groups was then compared.
RESULTS: The frequency of the allele f in gastric cancer patients was higher than that in the control group (57.8% vs 47.4%, P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the study subjects carrying the allele f (Ff + ff) had a higher gastric cancer risk than those without (FF) (OR = 2.85). The D-dimer level in the Ff + ff group was significantly elevated compared with the FF group (2.79 ± 1.21 vs 1.09 ± 0.65, P < 0.05). As the differentiation of gastric cancer worsened, the percentage of patients only carrying the allele F (FF) decreased gradually (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The FokⅠ polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene is associated with susceptibility to gastric cancer. The allele f may be one of the risk factors for gastric cancer, whereas the allele F may be a protective factor. Moreover, the levels of D-dimer in patients with gastric cancer carrying the allele f (Ff, ff) are significantly higher than those only carrying the allele F (FF), suggesting that the allele f may be a regulator of D-dimer and thus influences the onset or prognosis of gastric cancer in Uygur people.
