The Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene BsmI Polymorphism with Multiple Sclerosis in Iranian Patients
Background & Aims: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25 (OH)2 D3), the biologically active form of vitamin D, exerts an immunosuppressive effect through binding to its specific nuclear receptor. The present case-control study was done to examine the possible association of BsmI polymorphism in vitamin D receptor gene (VDR gene) with severity of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: 267 Iranian patients w...
متن کاملEffect of Vitamin D treatment on Interleukin-2 and Interleukin-4 Genes expression in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. The etiology of MS is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of IL-2 and IL-4 genes under vitamin D supplementation in patients with mult...
متن کاملVariation in the vitamin D receptor gene is associated with multiple sclerosis in an Australian population.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in accumulating neurological disability. The disorder is more prevalent at higher latitudes. To investigate VDR gene variation using three intragenic restriction fragment length polymorphisms (Apa I, Taq I and Fok I) in an Australian MS case-control population. One hundred and f...
متن کاملInvestigation of genetic variation of IL-4 receptor rs1801275 in patients with multiple sclerosis in Isfahan
Aim and Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that attacks myelinated axons in the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in destroying the myelin and the axon. According to high prevalence of disease in Iran, it needs to study different aspects of disease including factors influencing the pathogenesis and the other risk factors. Various type of genetic varia...
متن کاملThe role of polymorphism of TaqI in Vitamin D receptor gene and risk of ovarian cancer in women of North India
Background & objective: Ovarian cancer mortality is associated with lower regional sunlight exposure. Vitamin D and its metabolites are best known for their action in calcium and bone metabolism. However, epidemiological studies have suggested that an increased ovarian cancer risk is associated with decreased production of vitamin D. The vitamin D signaling pathway is involved in a wide variety...
