Project description:Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been associated with a plethora of adverse pregnancy and offspring outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of maternal and neonatal VDR polymorphisms (ApaI, TaqI, BsmI, FokI, Tru9I) and different maternal and neonatal 25(OH)D cut-offs on neonatal birth anthropometry. This cross-sectional study included data and samples from a cohort of mother-child pairs at birth. A detailed neonatal anthropometry analysis at birth was also conducted. Different 25(OH)D cut-offs for neonates and mothers were included, according to their vitamin D status at birth: for neonates, cut-offs of [25(OH)D ≤ 25 and > 25 nmol/L] and [25(OH)D ≤ 50 nmol/L] were adopted, whereas for mothers, a 25(OH)D cut-off of [25(OH)D ≤ 50 and > 50 nmol/L)] was investigated. Following this classification, maternal and neonatal VDR polymorphisms were evaluated to investigate the potential different effects of different neonatal and maternal 25(OH)D cut-offs on neonatal birth anthropometry. A total of 69 maternal-neonatal dyads were included in final analysis. Weight, neck rump length, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, abdominal circumference (iliac), high thigh circumference, middle thigh circumference, lower arm radial circumference, and lower leg calf circumference of neonates who had the TAQl SNP TT genotype and maternal 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L were significantly higher than that of neonates who had the Tt or tt genotypes (p = 0.001, Hg = 1.341, p = 0.036, Hg = 0.976, p = 0.004, Hg = 1.381, p = 0.001, Hg = 1.554, p = 0.001, Hg = 1.351, p = 0.028, Hg = 0.918, p = 0.008, Hg = 1.090, p = 0.002, Hg = 1.217, and p = 0.020, Hg = 1.263, respectively). Skin fold high anterior was significantly lower in neonates who had the BSMI SNP BB genotype compared to that of neonates with Bb or bb genotypes (p = 0.041, Hg = 0.950), whereas neck rump length was significantly higher in neonates who had the FOKI SNP FF genotype compared to that of neonates who had Ff or ff genotypes (p = 0.042, Hg = 1.228). Regarding neonatal VDR polymorphisms and cut-offs, the abdominal circumference (cm) of neonates who had the TAQI SNP TT genotype and 25(OH)D < 25 nmol/L were significantly higher than that of neonates who had the Tt or tt genotypes (p = 0.038, Hg = 1.138). In conclusion, these results indicate that the maternal TAQI VDR polymorphism significantly affected neonatal birth anthropometry when maternal 25(OH) concentrations were <50 nmol/L, but not for a higher cut-off of >50 nmol/L, whereas this effect is minimally evident in the presence of neonatal TAQI polymorphism with neonatal 25(OH)D values <25 nmol/L. The implication of these findings could be incorporated in daily clinical practice by targeting a maternal 25(OH)D cut-off >50 nmol/L, which could be protective against any effect of genetic VDR variance polymorphism on birth anthropometry.

Project description:BackgroundVitamin D deficiency in early life might affect the developing lung and immune system, and subsequently influence the risk of asthma and allergy in later life.ObjectiveWe examined the associations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in mid-gestation and at birth with lung function, asthma, inhalant allergic sensitization and inhalant allergy at school-age.MethodsThis study among 4951 children and their mothers was embedded in a population-based prospective cohort in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Maternal venous blood samples in mid-gestation and umbilical cord blood samples at birth were used to determine 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. At age 10 years, lung function was measured by spirometry, current asthma and physician-diagnosed inhalant allergy by questionnaire, and inhalant allergic sensitization by skin prick tests. We used multivariable regression models to examine associations.ResultsHigher 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in mid-gestation were associated with a higher forced vital capacity (FVC), but a lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second/FVC (FEV1 /FVC) and a lower forced expiratory flow after exhaling 75% of FVC (FEF75 ) (Z-score differences [95% CI] 0.02 [0.00, 0.03], -0.02 [-0.03, -0.01] and -0.01 [-0.03, -0.00], respectively, per 10 nmol/L 25-hydroxyvitamin D), but not with asthma. Furthermore, higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in mid-gestation were associated with an increased risk of inhalant allergy (Odds Ratio [95% CI] 1.07 [1.02, 1.12]), but not with inhalant allergic sensitization. After additional adjustment for child's 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations at the age of 6 years, only the associations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in mid-gestation with FEV1 /FVC and FEF75 remained. We did not find consistent associations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations at birth with respiratory or allergy outcomes.Conclusion and clinical relevanceOur results suggest that maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in mid-gestation may influence lung development. The clinical implications of the observed associations remain unclear.

Project description:The implementation of mass spectrometry to measure serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations has led to concerns regarding the measurement and reporting of the C3-epimer of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) [3-epi-25(OH)D(3)], for which there is a near-total lack of data regarding its clinical significance.We developed a chromatographic method to resolve (>90%) 3-epi-25(OH)D(3) from 25(OH)D(3) using a pentafluorophenyl propyl chromatographic column. Using LC-MS/MS, we determined the serum concentrations of 25(OH)D(3) and 3-epi-25(OH)D(3) in 626 patients aged 3 days to 94 years undergoing routine vitamin D testing.Comparison between DiaSorin RIA and the new LC-MS/MS method for total 25(OH)D had acceptable agreement. Our data indicate an increase in 25(OH)D(3) rather than a reduction in epimer concentration. An average of 3.3 ng/ml of 3-epi-25(OH)D(3) was detected in adolescents and adults. Inclusion of 3-epi-25(OH)D(3) in the total 25(OH)D(3) concentration resulted in 9% (<1 year) and 3% (1 to 94 years) potential misclassification of patients as vitamin D sufficient.The new LC-MS/MS method is capable of chromatographically separating 25(OH)D(3) and 3-epi-25(OH)D(3). It was used to confirm that the contribution of 3-epi-25OHD(3) to total 25OHD(3) concentrations decreases with age in infants and is detectable in adults.

Project description:BackgroundSerum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels are generally lower in chronic hepatitis C patients than in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to clarify the factors which affect serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels using data obtained from Japanese chronic hepatitis C patients.MethodsThe subjects were 619 chronic hepatitis C patients. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels were measured by using double-antibody radioimmunoassay between April 2009 and August 2014. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels of 20 ng/mL or less were classified as vitamin D deficiency, and those with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels of 30 ng/mL or more as vitamin D sufficiency. The relationship between patient-related factors and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels was analyzed.ResultsThe cohort consisted of 305 females and 314 males, aged between 18 and 89 years (median, 63 years). The median serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 level was 21 ng/mL (range, 6-61 ng/mL). On the other hand, the median serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 level in the healthy subjects was 25 ng/mL (range, 7-52), being significantly higher than that those in 80 chronic hepatitis C patients matched for age, gender, and season (p = 1.16 × 10(-8)). In multivariate analysis, independent contributors to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 deficiency were as follows: female gender (p = 2.03 × 10(-4), odds ratio = 2.290, 95 % confidence interval = 1.479-3.545), older age (p = 4.30 × 10(-4), odds ratio = 1.038, 95 % confidence interval = 1.017-1.060), cold season (p = 0.015, odds ratio = 1.586, 95 % confidence interval = 1.095-2.297), and low hemoglobin level (p = 0.037, odds ratio = 1.165, 95 % confidence interval = 1.009-1.345). By contrast, independent contributors to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 sufficiency were male gender (p = 0.001, odds ratio = 3.400, 95 % confidence interval = 1.635-7.069), warm season (p = 0.014, odds ratio = 1.765, 95 % confidence interval = 1.117-2.789) and serum albumin (p = 0.016, OR = 2.247, 95 % CI = 1.163-4.342).ConclusionsSerum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in chronic hepatitis C Japanese patients were influenced by gender, age, hemoglobin level, albumin and the season of measurement.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Vitamin D deficiency is common in cystic fibrosis (CF), but there is no previous data on free 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) in CF or in relation to healthy individuals. METHODS:We assessed total serum 25(OH)D concentration by chemiluminescence and serum free 25(OH)D concentration by both direct measurement (ELISA) and calculation, using serum albumin and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) levels in 80 subjects (28 healthy adults, 25 clinically stable adults and children with CF and 27 adults experiencing a CF exacerbation). RESULTS:Serum albumin and VDBP concentrations were lower in CF compared with healthy controls. Total serum 25(OH)D concentrations were positively correlated with both calculated and measured free 25(OH)D (P < 0.001 for both). Calculated and directly measured serum free 25(OH)D levels were positively correlated (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Serum levels of directly measured free 25(OH)D positively correlated with total 25(OH)D, suggesting that achieving sufficient total serum 25(OH)D may result in adequate free 25(OH)D levels in CF.

Project description:BackgroundVitamin D-binding protein (VDBP) is a vital regulator of optimal vitamin D homeostasis and bioavailability. Apart from its well-documented role as a key component in vitamin D dynamic transfer and circulation, it has a myriad of immunoregulatory functions related to innate immunity, which becomes particularly critical in states of increased immunological tolerance including pregnancy. In this regard, VDBP dyshomeostasis is considered to contribute to the development of several fetal, maternal, and neonatal adverse outcomes. However, precise physiological pathways, including the contribution of specific VDBP polymorphisms behind such phenomena, are yet to be fully deciphered. Our aim was to assess the combined effect of maternal and neonatal VDBP polymorphism heterogeneity in conjunction with different maternal and neonatal 25(OH)D cutoffs on the neonatal anthropometric profile at birth.MethodsThe study included data and samples from a cohort of 66 mother-child pairs at birth. The inclusion criterion was full-term pregnancy (gestational weeks 37-42). Neonatal and maternal 25(OH)D cutoffs were included according to vitamin D status at birth and delivery. Concentrations of 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3 were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.ResultsThe upper arm length of neonates with 25(OH)D ≤ 25 nmol/L was higher in neonate CC carriers for rs2298850. The upper thigh neonatal circumference was also higher in the ones with either 25(OH)D ≤ 50 or ≤75 nmol/L in rs2298850 CG + GG or rs4588 GT + TT carriers. We did not observe any significant effect for maternal VDBP polymorphisms nor for birth maternal 25(OH)D concentrations, on birth neonatal anthropometry.ConclusionsOur findings emphasize a potential role for neonatal VDBP genotypes rs2298850 and rs4588, in conjunction with specific neonatal 25(OH)D cutoffs, in the range of sufficiency on neonatal growth and development.

Project description:Background:Interpretation of serum vitamin D biomarkers across pregnancy is complex due to limited understanding of pregnancy adaptations in vitamin D metabolism. During pregnancy, both gestational age and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations may influence the concentrations of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [24,25(OH)2D], and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Objective:We aimed to identify predictors of change in serum 25(OH)D across gestation in pregnant adolescents and to assess the contribution made by cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation. We sought to determine whether gestational age and 25(OH)D concentration interacted to affect serum 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D, or PTH. Methods:Pregnant adolescents (n = 78, 59% African American, mean ± SD age: 17 ± 1 y) living in Rochester, NY (latitude 43°N) were supplemented with 200 IU or 2000 IU vitamin D3/d and allowed to continue their daily prenatal supplement that contained 400 IU vitamin D3. Serum was collected at study entry (18 ± 5 wk of gestation), halfway through study participation, and at delivery (40 ± 2 wk). Serum concentrations of the biochemical markers were modeled with linear mixed-effects regression models. Results:Vitamin D3 supplement intake and season of delivery determined change in 25(OH)D across pregnancy. Fall-winter delivery was associated with a decline in 25(OH)D unless vitamin D3 supplement intake was >872 IU/d. The interaction of gestational age and 25(OH)D affected 24,25(OH)2D concentrations. For a given 25(OH)D concentration, model-predicted serum 24,25(OH)2D increased across gestation except when 25(OH)D was <13 ng/mL. Below this threshold, 24,25(OH)2D was predicted to decline over time. Mean serum 1,25(OH)2D was elevated (>100 pg/mL) throughout the study. Conclusion:Our results suggest that when maternal serum 25(OH)D was low, its catabolism into 24,25(OH)2D decreased or remained stable as pregnancy progressed in order to maintain persistently elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D. Furthermore, in adolescents living at latitude 43°N, standard prenatal supplementation did not prevent a seasonal decline in 25(OH)D during pregnancy. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01815047.

Project description:Whether the maternal vitamin D deficiency is associated with infant birth weight is still an argument. Here, we performed a nested case-control study (545 women who subsequently delivered infant with macrosomia and 1090 controls) to evaluate the association of the maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations with risk of macrosomia. We measured the serum 25(OH)D concentrations by enzyme immunoassays. Logistic regression analysis, receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis and graphical nomogram were used for the statistical analyses. Among women who delivered infant with macrosomia, 71.2% of the women had serum 25(OH)D concentrations <50.0 nmol/L compared with 61.1% of the control women (P < 0.001). For women with concentrations <50.0 nmol/L, they had a 33% increased risk of macrosomia compared with women whose 25(OH)D ranged from 50.0 to 74.9 nmol/L. The risk of macrosomia was significantly increased with the decreasing concentrations of serum 25(OH)D in a dose-dependent manner (P for trend = 0.001). We also observed a threshold for 25(OH)D of 50.0 nmol/L for delivering infant with macrosomia and a predictive accuracy of the 25(OH)D concentrations included panel, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.712 for delivering infant with macrosomia. In conclusion, maternal serum 25(OH)D <50.0 nmol/L is associated with delivering a macrosomic infant, and vitamin D deficiency should be monitored in pregnant women.

Project description:Maternal vitamin D deficiency has been associated with numerous adverse health outcomes, but its association with fetal growth restriction remains uncertain. We sought to elucidate the association between maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations in early pregnancy and the risk of small-for-gestational age birth (SGA) and explore the association between maternal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the risk of SGA. We conducted a nested case-control study of nulliparous pregnant women with singleton pregnancies who delivered SGA infants (n = 77 white and n = 34 black) or non-SGA infants (n = 196 white and n = 105 black). Women were followed from <16 wk gestation to delivery. Women's banked sera at <22 wk were newly measured for 25(OH)D and DNA extracted for VDR genotyping. SGA was defined as live-born infants that were <10th percentile of birth weight according to nomograms based on gender and gestational age. After confounder adjustment, there was a U-shaped relation between serum 25(OH)D and risk of SGA among white mothers, with the lowest risk from 60 to 80 nmol/L. Compared with serum 25(OH)D 37.5-75 nmol/L, SGA odds ratios (95% CI) for levels <37.5 and >75 nmol/L were 7.5 (1.8, 31.9) and 2.1 (1.2, 3.8), respectively. There was no relation between 25(OH)D and SGA risk among black mothers. One SNP in the VDR gene among white women and 3 SNP in black women were significantly associated with SGA. Our results suggest that vitamin D has a complex relation with fetal growth that may vary by race.

Project description:BackgroundLow circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is prevalent in African Americans, but predictors of vitamin D status are understudied compared to Caucasian populations.ObjectiveWe investigated whether certain environmental and genetic factors are predictors of circulating 25(OH)D in 989 elderly African Americans participating in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study.MethodsRegression analysis estimated the cross-sectional association of nongenetic (environmental) factors with 25(OH)D. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with 25(OH)D in Caucasian genome-wide association studies (GWASs) were analyzed for association with serum 25(OH)D, including analyses of all imputed SNPs in identified genomic regions. Genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA) evaluated the association of all (genome-wide) genotyped SNPs with serum 25(OH)D in the Health ABC Study with replication in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort.ResultsGender, study site, season of blood draw, body mass index, dietary supplement use, dairy and cereal consumption, Healthy Eating Index score, and walking >180 min/wk were associated with 25(OH)D (P < 0.05), jointly explaining 25% of the variation in circulating 25(OH)D. Multivitamin supplement use was the strongest predictor of circulating 25(OH)D, and supplement users had a 6.3-μg/L higher serum 25(OH)D concentration compared with nonusers. Previous GWAS-identified gene regions were not replicated in African Americans, but the nonsynonymous rs7041 SNP in group-specific component (vitamin D binding protein) was close to significance thresholds (P = 0.08), and there was evidence for an interaction between this SNP and use of multivitamin supplements in relation to serum 25(OH)D concentration (P = 0.04). Twenty-three percent (95% CI: 0%, 52%) of the variation in serum 25(OH)D was explained by total genetic variation in a pooled GCTA of 2087 Health ABC Study and MESA African-American participants, but population substructure effects could not be separated from other genetic influences.ConclusionsModifiable dietary and lifestyle predictors of serum 25(OH)D were identified in African Americans. GCTA confirms that a proportion of 25(OH)D variability is attributable to genetic variation, but genomic regions associated with the 25(OH)D phenotype identified in prior GWASs of European Americans were not replicated in the Health ABC Study in African Americans.
