Besides, the risk of asthma progression was increased in patients with the VDR rs2228570 CC and VDBP rs7041 GG genotypes (OR = 3.56, P = .0382 and OR = 2.58, P = .01, respectively).
In conclusion, both study GC variants could be implicated in childhood bronchial asthma pathogenesis; rs7041 GG genotype and G allele increased asthma risk while rs4588 AA genotype and A allele conferred protection in the study population.
Rs10766197 of CYP2R1, rs7041 and rs4588 of CG, rs4646536 of CYP27B1, rs2228570, rs7975232, and rs1544410 of VDR, as well as rs1805192 and rs10865710 of PPAR were shown to be significantly associated with increased risk of bronchial asthma.
The rs7041_C allele (denoting haplotype GC1s) was overtransmitted (P = 0.02, additive model) in the entire Boston cohort, in Whites (P = 0.03), and especially in children subsequently diagnosed with asthma (P = 0.006).
To test the hypothesis that GC single nucleotide polymorphisms encoding the D432E and T436K variants predict subsequent development of asthma in healthy children.
GC1F, GC1S, and GC2 are the three allelic variants (denoted as rs4588 and rs7041) of GC, and known to be associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
In conclusion, both study GC variants could be implicated in childhood bronchial asthma pathogenesis; rs7041 GG genotype and G allele increased asthma risk while rs4588 AA genotype and A allele conferred protection in the study population.
Herein we aimed to present novel evidence on the association of two VDBP polymorphisms (rs4588) and (rs7041) with CAD in patients after acute myocardial infarction and study possible correlations of these polymorphisms with 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] serum levels.
When studies were stratified by cancer type, our results indicated that rs4588 significantly increased the risk of breast cancer and digestive system tumor, but not in prostate cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, while rs7041 significantly increased the risk of non-small cell lung cancer.
<b>Objectives</b>: The vitamin D binding protein encoded by the <i>GC</i> gene contains two single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs4588 and rs7041) that have been associated with disease outcome, these include periodontitis coronary heart disease and hypertension.
In women with a vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml), the GT allele of the VDBP SNP rs7041 (p value =0.04), the VDBP allelic combination Gc1F/1F (T allele of rs4588 and C allele of rs7041) (p value =0.03), and the GA allele of the CYP2R1 SNP rs2060793 (p = 0.05) were associated with an increased risk of developing PCOS.
DBP polymorphism was associated to HCV genotype (GC rs7041), previous HCV treatment, and GGT (GC rs4588).In conclusion, low frequency of vitamin D deficiency was found, but VDR polymorphisms were frequently associated to fibrosis grade suggesting that they could be used as disease evaluation markers to understand the mechanisms underlying the virus-host interaction.
In women with a vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml), the GT allele of the VDBP SNP rs7041 (p value =0.04), the VDBP allelic combination Gc1F/1F (T allele of rs4588 and C allele of rs7041) (p value =0.03), and the GA allele of the CYP2R1 SNP rs2060793 (p = 0.05) were associated with an increased risk of developing PCOS.
