Resumen
Vitamin D and vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms are associated withautoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of this studyis to assess the genetic association between VDR polymorphisms: TaqI, ApaI, Bsml and FokIand SLE with serum levels of Vitamin D in the Colombian Caribbean population.Method: Case and control study. One hundred and thirty-three patients with SLE and 100healthy individuals were included. VDR polymorphism were genotyped by RT-PCR andTaqman®probes. Allelic, genotypic and haplotype associations were estimated. Serum vita-min D concentrations were quantified by Elisa. Values of 30 to 100 ng/ml were establishedas a normal reference range. P values <.05 were considered statistically significant.Results: A high prevalence of SLE was observed in women (94%) and was associated witha higher risk of SLE [OR: 10.8; 95% CI: 4.7–24.6] (p < .05). Moreover, higher risk of SLE wasobserved in individuals with FokI VDR [rs2228570] [OR: 1.58; 95% CI: 1.05−2.36] in allelic mod-els. The ACCA Haplotype of TaqI/ApaI/Bsml/FokI polymorphisms was associated with higherrisk of SLE [OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.12−4.66, psim <.01]. Vitamin D deficiency was evidenced in11.3% of the patients.
