Evaluation of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (Fok-I and Bsm-I) in T1DM Saudi children.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vitamin D deficiency conferred strongest susceptibility to pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Altered gene expression and function have strong effect on VDR gene polymorphism.

Objectives

We aimed to check for the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VDR gene (Fok-I and Bsm-I) with T1DM in Saudi children.

Subjects and methods

Cross-sectional study included 100 T1DM Saudi children, plus 102 unrelated healthy subjects. PCR technique was used for detection of Fok-I and Bsm-I SNPs in VDR gene.

Results

Regarding the Fok-I polymorphisms, T1DM cases showed a significant increased frequency of the heterozygous genotype (Ff) than controls (33% vs 21%, OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.006-3.587, P = .04). In the meantime, they showed significantly lower frequency of the homozygous (ff) genotype (64% vs 79%, OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.28-0.96, P = .03). Cases showed also a significantly lower frequency of the (f) allele than controls (80.5% vs 87.7%, OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.33-0.995, P = .04). On the other hand, cases showed significantly higher frequency of the Bsm-I homozygous (bb) and heterozygous (Bb) genotypes (25% vs 11.8%, P = .01, OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.18-5.31) & (45% vs 27.5%, P = .0, OR = 2.1, 95 % CI = 1.20-3.89, respectively). Cases showed also significantly higher frequency of (b) allele compared to control (47.5% vs 25.5%, P = .0, OR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.74-4.02). Haplotype analysis showed an increased risk with the fB and fb haplotypes.

Conclusion

This study emphasizes a positive association between SNPs (Fok-I and Bsm-I) and T1DM among Saudi children with increased risk with the Fok-I F and Bsm-I b alleles.

Project description:The prevalence of dental caries in individuals who practice good oral hygiene increasingly indicates that other etiological factors, such as genetic factors, may be responsible for occurrence of caries, and its prevalence in younger individuals, such as adolescents, is an early manifestation of their genetic makeup. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the correlation of various genetic factors with the occurrence of dental caries in populations. Thus, this study assessed the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (rs2228570) in the vitamin D receptor gene and dental caries susceptibility. After obtaining ethical approval (NU/CEC/2020/0339), 377 adults, aged 18-40 years, were included in this study. Among the participants consenting to participate, salivary samples were collected, and an oral examination was conducted using the World Health Care Oral Health Survey Format 2013. The DMFT and PUFA index scores were recorded along with basic demographic details. The subjects were categorized as caries-free (controls, DMFT = 0) and caries-active (cases). The case group was further divided into the high-risk group (DMFT ≤ 10), moderate-risk group (DMFT = 4-9), and low-risk group (DMFT = 1-3). Saliva samples were used for vitamin D level analysis and DNA isolation. Polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using Fok1 digestion was performed on the isolated DNA. Salivary vitamin D levels were markedly higher in the caries-free group than in the caries-active group (p < 0.001). The T allele of rs2228570 was significantly associated with having active caries, while the C allele was associated with being caries-free. Individuals with the rs2228570 TC genotype had 2.814-fold increased likelihood, and individuals with the TT genotype had 3.116- fold increased likelihood of being caries-active. This finding is important in terms of patient counselling, as well as possibly in terms of prevention and treatment of caries.
