The aim of this study was to explore whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Meta-analyses were conducted on the associations between the VDR FokI, BsmI, and TaqI polymorphisms and RA.
A total of seven studies were considered in the meta-analysis, involving a total of 923 patients and 912 controls. Meta-analysis of the VDR FokI polymorphism showed no association between RA and the F allele in the entire studied cohort (odds ratio, OR = 1.1740, 95 % confidence interval, CI = 0.994-1.387, p = 0.059). However, stratification by ethnicity revealed a significant association between the F allele and RA in Europeans (OR = 1.402, 95 % CI = 1.126-1.746, p = 0.003). Furthermore, an association was found between RA and the VDR FokI polymorphism using both the dominant model and homozygote contrast. Meta-analysis revealed no association between RA and the VDR BsmI B and TaqI T polymorphisms in Europeans (OR for the B allele = 1.065, 95 % CI = 0.911-1.245, p = 0.427; OR for the T allele = 1.065, 95 % CI = 0.834-1.361, p = 0.613).
This meta-analysis suggests that the VDR FokI polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to RA in European populations.
本研究旨在探讨维生素D受体(VDR)基因多态性与类风湿关节炎(RA)易感性之间是否存在关联。
对VDR FokI、BsmI和TaqI基因多态性与RA之间的关联进行荟萃分析。
荟萃分析共纳入7项研究,涉及923例患者和912例对照。对VDR FokI基因多态性的荟萃分析显示,在整个研究队列中,RA与F等位基因之间无关联(优势比,OR = 1.1740,95%置信区间,CI = 0.994 - 1.387,p = 0.059)。然而,按种族分层显示,在欧洲人中F等位基因与RA之间存在显著关联(OR = 1.402,95% CI = 1.126 - 1.746,p = 0.003)。此外,使用显性模型和纯合子对比均发现RA与VDR FokI基因多态性之间存在关联。荟萃分析显示,在欧洲人中RA与VDR BsmI B和TaqI T基因多态性之间无关联(B等位基因的OR = 1.065,95% CI = 0.911 - 1.245,p = 0.427;T等位基因的OR = 1.065,95% CI = 0.834 - 1.361,p = 0.613)。
该荟萃分析表明,VDR FokI基因多态性与欧洲人群RA易感性相关。
