The BsmI vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism in Israeli populations and in perimenopausal and osteoporotic Ashkenazi women.

BACKGROUND: The association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and bone mineral density (BMD) is controversial, and may be effected by ethnic ancestry and age. AIMS: To determine the distribution of the BsmI VDR gene polymorphism in healthy Israeli populations, and to study its association with BMD in perimenopausal and osteoporotic Ashkenazi women. METHODS: Allele and genotype frequencies of the VDR gene defined by BsmI restriction site were determined in 634 healthy Israelis of seven ethnic groups, 90 Ashkenazi perimenopausal women and in 75 Ashkenazi osteoporotic women. Genotype-related differences in spinal and femoral neck BMD were determined in Ashkenazi perimenopausal women. Allele and genotype frequencies in Ashkenazi osteoporotic women were compared with Ashkenazi controls. RESULTS: The frequency of the BB genotype was higher in Yemenites compared with Ashkenazi and Libyan Jews (23, 11 and 8%, respectively, p < 0.05), and lower in Ashkenazi compared with Iraqi and Persian Jews (11, 20 and 21%, respectively, p = 0.05). BMD did not vary by genotype in perimenopausal women, nor were there differences in the frequencies of the B allele or the BB genotype in osteoporotic women compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS: There is ethnic variability in the frequency of the BsmI VDR gene polymorphism. In Ashkenazi perimenopausal and osteoporotic women this polymorphism is not associated with BMD.     

Early and Late Postmenopausal Bone Loss is Associated with BsmI Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism in Japanese Women

To determine whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone loss in the Japanese population, VDR BsmI RFLPs were analyzed in 191 postmenopausal Japanese women by comparing B allele and b allele DNA sequences, and a point mutation was confirmed. We examined VDR BsmI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with an amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) using this point of mutation. The frequency of VDR BsmI alleles in the Japanese population was significantly different from that in whites. The bb genotype was identified in 79.6%, of the subjects, the Bb genotype in 19.3%, and the BB genotype was in only 1.1%. We find no significant differences in lumbar spine baseline BMD between the bb genotype and the Bb genotype. In both early and late postmenopausal periods, serial measurements of vertebral BMD revealed that subjects with the Bb genotype lost BMD faster than those with the bb genotype (P= 0.001). We conclude that there is a significant relationship between RFLPs of BsmI VDR and the annual rates of bone loss during early and late postmenopausal periods in the Japanese population.

Genotypes and clinical aspects associated with bone mineral density in Argentine postmenopausal women

The aim of this study was to determine genotypes and clinical aspects associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women from Córdoba, Argentina. Polymorphisms were assessed by RFLP-PCR technique using BsmI and FokI for vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) and XbaI and PvuII for estrogen receptor-alpha gene (ERalpha) as restrictases. Sixty-eight healthy, 54 osteopenic, and 64 osteoporotic postmenopausal women were recruited. Femoral neck and lumbar spine BMD were inversely correlated with age in the entire analyzed population. Height was lower in osteopenic and osteoporotic women as compared to healthy women (P < 0.05). Weight and body mass index (BMI) were the lowest in osteoporotic women (P < 0.01 versus healthy group). Serum procollagen type I Nterminal propeptide (PINP) was higher in osteoporotic women as compared to the other groups. Distribution of VDR and ERalpha genotypes was similar in the three groups. Genotype bb (VDR) was associated with low values of lumbar BMD in the healthy group (P < 0.05 versus genotype Bb), and with low values of femoral BMD (P < 0.05 versus genotype BB) in osteoporotic women. BB*Pp interaction was associated with the highest femoral neck BMD (P < 0.05), whereas the bb*xx interaction was associated with the lowest femoral neck BMD in the total population analyzed (P < 0.05). In conclusion, parameters such as age, height, weight, BMI, serum PINP, VDR genotypes, and interactions between VDR and ERalpha genotypes could be useful to predict a decrease in BMD in Argentine postmenopausal women.     

Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms, Bone Mass, Bone Loss and Prevalence of Vertebral Fracture: Differences in Postmenopausal Women and Men

Bone mineral density (BMD), the major determinant of fracture risk, is under strong genetic control. Although polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been suggested to account for some of the genetic variation in bone mass, the influence of VDR genotypes on osteoporosis remains controversial. Previous published studies have focused mainly on women, but the pattern of response in men has not been determined. Using the BsmI restriction enzyme, we studied the influence of the different VDR genotypes on bone mass, bone loss and the prevalence of vertebral fractures in a population-based sample of both sexes (n = 326). BMD was measured at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, with a 4-year interval, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Vertebral fractures were assessed by two lateral radiographs at the beginning and end of the study. The prevalence of the three possible VDR genotypes was similar to those in other Caucasian populations and no differences were found between men and women. Women with the favorable bb genotype showed significantly higher BMD values at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, and a positive rate of BMD change at the femoral neck compared with women with the BB and Bb genotypes. Moreover, women with the bb genotype showed a trend toward a lower prevalence and incidence of vertebral fractures (p= 0.07). We have not found any differences between VDR genotypes in men. In conclusion, VDR gene polymorphisms are related to bone mass and bone loss in women; also a trend in the prevalence of vertebral fractures was observed in postmenopausal women but not in men.

The Contribution of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Osteoporosis and Familial Osteoporosis

It is well established that genetic factors play a major role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Previous reports have suggested that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms, particularly the BB, tt and AA genotypes, are associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). If these VDR genotypes are indeed an important determinant of BMD, then a population of related osteoporotic individuals (mother–daughter or sister–sister relationship) should have a high prevalence of the BB, tt or AA VDR genotypes. To test this hypothesis we determined the VDR genotypes in 26 osteoporotic persons (age 44.3 ± 12.7 years, mean ± SD) belonging to 12 families. Furthermore, for comparison with existing studies, we applied the VDR genotype analysis in a population of 53 unrelated healthy subjects (age 45.2 ± 9.8 years, mean ± SD) and 59 unrelated osteoporotic subjects (age 52.1 ± 9.0 years, mean ± SD). The menopausal status of the healthy and osteoporotic populations was pre-, peri- and mostly early postmenopausal. The proportions of the three genotypes, BB, tt and AA, within the 12 osteoporotic families were 15%, 12% and 27%, respectively, whereas the proportions of the other three homozygous genotypes (bb, TT, aa) were 50%, 50% and 23%. The distribution of the BB, tt and AA genotypes in the normal population was 21%, 21% and 36%, respectively (vs bb, TT, aa: 36%, 38%, 21%), whereas in the osteoporotic population it was 24%, 20% and 34% (vs bb, TT, aa: 27%, 34%, 14%). Our data indicate that there is not a statistically significant (p>0.05) difference in the VDR genotype frequencies within osteoporotic families as compared with the same genotypes in the population of unrelated normal or osteoporotic subjects. VDR genotype analysis showed no significant relation between VDR polymorphisms and BMD or Z-score values at the lumbar spine. This study demonstrates the lack of a heritability pattern between the BB, tt and AA genotypes and low BMD. Received: 29 October 1998 / Accepted: 19 April 1999     

The association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and bone mineral density at the spine,hip and whole-body in premenopausal women

The genetic influence on bone mineral density (BMD) is thought to be mediated in part by alleles at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) locus. In order to assess the effect of VDR on BMD in premenopausal women, we studied 470 healthy white subjects, aged 44–50 years, participating in the Women's Healthy Lifestyle Project. Each participant was genotyped for theBsmI polymorphism at the VDR gene locus. BMD at the lumbar spine, hip and whole-body, and the whole-body soft tissue composition, were measured cross-sectionally using a Hologic QDR 2000 densitometer. The presence of a polymorphic restriction site at the VDR gene locus was specified asb, whereas absence of this site wasB. The frequency distribution of the VDR genotype was:bb, 20.6%;Bb, 39.1%; andBB, 40.2%. Spinal BMD (mean±SD) was significantly lower in women with VDR genotypeBB (1.038±0.11 g/cm²) as compared with those with genotypebb (1.069±0.12 g/cm²,p<0.05). Trochanter BMD was 2.7% lower in those with genotypeBB versusbb (0.685±0.10 g/cm² vs 0.708±0.09 g/cm²). A similar trend was shown at each subregion of the hip, but not at the whole-body. In premenopausal women, allelic status at the VDR locus contributed to variations in spinal and trochanteric BMDs, but the absolute difference in BMDs was small, amounting to 0.26 and 0.23 standard deviations, respectively. It is concluded that in this population of healthy premenopausal women there was a significant association between polymorphisms at the VDR gene locus and both spinal and trochanteric BMDs, yet no association was demonstrated for the whole-body BMD.     

Vitamin D Receptor Genotypes and Intestinal Calcium Absorption in Postmenopausal Women

Several studies have shown that bone mass and bone turnover are genetically determined. This genetic component is thought to be mediated in part by polymorphisms at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) locus, even though the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unknown. To evaluate a possible site of differential action of the VDR gene alleles we examined their correlation with intestinal calcium absorption in 120 Caucasian postmenopausal women (aged 61 ± 0.6 years). VDR gene polymorphisms for Apa I, Bsm I, and Taq I restriction endonucleases were assessed by Southern blotting analysis. The most common genotypes observed in our population were AaBbTt (37%), AABBtt (20%), aabbTT (15%), AabbTT (15%), and AABbTt (9%). Although there was some evidence of 13% higher lumbar BMD values in aabbTT genotype with respect to AABBtt genotype, this difference of approximately 0.1 g/cm² did not reach statistical significance, possibly because of the limited number of observations. On the contrary, no relationship was found between genotypes and femoral neck BMD values. Intestinal calcium absorption was significantly lower in BB and tt genotypes than, in bb and TT genotypes, respectively, and in AABBtt genotype than in either aabbTT or AaBbTt genotypes (P= 0.0015 ANOVA). No significant differences in intact PTH, alkaline phosphatase, 25OHD₃, and 1,25(OH)₂D₃ were found among subjects with different VDR genotypes. These results are consistent with a possible role of VDR alleles on intestinal calcium absorption.
