Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in women from southern Brazil and association with vitamin D-binding protein levels and GC-DBP gene polymorphisms.

ABSTRACT: Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent worldwide, and vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) a major regulator of serum vitamin D levels. The rs4588 and rs7041 polymorphisms of the GC gene constitute the genetic basis of the three major isoforms of circulating DBP (GC1s, GC1f, and GC2), while the rs2282679 variant is located in an important regulatory region of the GC gene. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency and to ascertain whether it is associated with DBP levels and with GC gene variants. Biorepository samples of 443 women aged 20 to 72 years, with no evidence of clinical disease, were analyzed. Circulating levels of 25(OH)D were considered sufficient if ?20 ng/mL and deficient if <20 ng/mL. Genotype analysis was performed by RT-PCR. Mean age was 53.4±9.4 years; mean BMI was 27.8±5.8 kg/m2. The overall sample had mean 25(OH)D levels of 22.8±8.3 ng/mL; 39.7% of participants had deficient circulating 25(OH)D levels. Higher prevalence ratios (PR) of 25(OH)D deficiency were found for the CC genotype of rs2282679 (PR 1.74; 95%CI 1.30 to 2.24; p<0.001), GC2 isoform (PR 1.66; 95%CI 1.17 to 2.38; p = 0.005), time since menopause (PR 1.02; 95%CI 1.003 to 1.03, p = 0.016), and HOMA-IR (PR 1.02; 95%CI 1.01 to 1.03, p = 0.004). DBP levels (per 30 ?g/mL increase in DBP) were associated with lower PR for 25(OH)D deficiency (PR 0.89; 95%CI 0.80;0.99; p = 0.027). Except for HOMA-IR, these prevalence ratios remained significant after adjustment for age and BMI. In conclusion, the rs2282679 polymorphism and the GC2 isoform of DBP were associated with lower serum DBP levels and with susceptibility to 25(OH)D deficiency in Brazilian women with no evidence of clinical disease.

Project description:Abstract Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is one of regulators of vitamin D serum levels. rs4588 and rs7041 polymorphisms of the DBP gene constitute the genetic basis of the three major isoforms of circulating DBP, called GC1s, GC1f and GC2. We evaluated the association between the rs4588, rs7041, rs2282679 SNPs and of DBP isoforms with DBP and 25(OH)D serum levels and investigated whether these gene variants influence on the presence of vitamin D deficiency in a non-selected women sample. In this cross-sectional study, bio-repository samples of 443 apparently healthy women aged 20 to 72 years were analyzed. Most of the participants were ppostmenopausal (n=359). Sufficient circulating levels of 25(OH)D was considered as ≥20ng/mL and deficiency as <20ng/mL. Clinical and biochemical profile were collected. Participants were genotyped for rs4588, rs7041, and rs2282679 polymorphisms by RT-PCR. BDP isoforms were constructed from the combination of the rs4588 and rs7041 polymorphisms, where GC1s= rs4588CC and rs7041GG; GC1f= rs4588CC and rs7041TT and Gc2= rs4588AA and rs7041TT. Mean age and BMI were 53.4±9.4 years and 27.8±5.8, respectively. 25(OH)D levels in total sample was 22.8±8.3ng/mL and 60% had adequate circulating 25(OH)D levels. rs4588, rs2282679 SNPs and the GC2 isoforms were associated with lower DBP levels (rs4588: CC=203.0±28.3; CA=196.5±29.9; AA=184.0±36.9; linear p trend<0.001, B=-8.4; rs2282679: AA=203.1±27.9; AC=196.4±30.0; CC=180.9±38.2; linear p trend<0.001, B=-9.3; and DBP isoforms: GC1s=199.4±29.9; GC1f=204.8±31.6; GC2=180.8±37.6; linear p trend=0.012, B=-7.7) and rs2282689 as well as GC2 isoform were associated with lower 25(OH)D levels (rs2282679: AA=23.4±8.8; AC=22.8±7.8; CC=19.7±7.2; linear p trend=0.034, B=-1.3; and DBP isoforms: GC1s=23.8±9.2; GC1f=20.6±8.3; GC2=20.3±7.4; linear p trend=0.015, B=-1.9). CC genotype of rs2282679 (PR 1.74; 95%CI 1.30;2.24; p<0.001), GC2 isoform (PR 1.66; 95%CI 1.17; 2.38; p=0.005), time since menopause (PR 1.02; 95%CI 1.003;1.03, p= 0.016) and HOMA-IR (PR 1.02; 95%CI 1.01;1.03, p= 0.004) were associated with higher prevalence ratios for 25(OH)D deficiency. DBP levels (per 30 ug/mL of DBP increase, PR 0.89; 95%CI 0.80;0.99; p=0.027) were related to lower prevalence ratios for 25(OH)D deficiency. Except for HOMA-IR, these PR remained significant after adjustment for age and BMI. In conclusion, the present results suggest that rs2282679 and the GC2 isoform of DBP are related to lower DBP serum levels and with the susceptibility to 25(OH)D deficiency in adult and postmenopausal women.

Project description:Vitamin A plays an important role in the periods of rapid cellular growth and differentiation, especially during pregnancy, which is supplied by the mother to the fetus. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and potential influence factors of prenatal VAD of Chinese pregnant women.China National Nutrition and Health Survey 2010-2013(CHNNS2010-2013) is a nationally representative cross-sectional study. It involved the random selection of 150 districts (urban) or counties (rural). Each site randomly selected 30 pregnant women. Because volume of blood and incomplete data was taken into consideration,the final sample was formed by 1209 participants. Serum retinol concentrations were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Characteristics of the pregnant women were collected by a questionnaire. Comparing retinol level across categories of independent variables was tested by the Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to identify influence factors of Chinese pregnant women.The mean serum retinol level of the pregnant women was 1.63 μmol/L (95 % CI 1.60-1.67) and 64[5.3 % (95 % CI 4.03-6.56)] had VAD. The odds of VAD were significantly higher among the pregnant women in the poor rural areas and without college or university education and low- income. Pregnant women in the second and third trimester had 2.40 (95 % CI 1.05-5.46) and 2.82 (95 % CI 1.34-5.93) times increased odds of VAD compared with those in the first trimester respectively. Pregnant women of drinker had 3.10(1.65-5.81) times increased odds of VAD compared with those no drinker. Pregnant smokers had 5.68 (95 % CI 2.23-14.49) times higher odds of VAD compared with pregnant with non-smoker without passive smoking.VAD is of mild public-health issue in Chinese pregnant women. Such as : in the poor rural areas and without received college or university education and low- income and advanced gestational age and unhealthy lifestyles of pregnant women such as smoking and drinking. These were pertinent influence factors of VAD.
