Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have reported vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms in multiple sclerosis (MS); however, the results remain contradictory. This study aimed to investigate the association between VDR polymorphisms and the risk of MS. METHODS:PubMed and Embase databases were searched to obtain eligible studies. Data were calculated by odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS:Twenty seven case-control studies with 4879 MS patients and 5402 controls were included. There was no significant association between ApaI polymorphisms and MS in the overall population. In Asians, no association was found between ApaI polymorphism and MS in the recessive, dominant, Codominant (OR1), Codominant (OR2), Codominant (OR3) models and allele contrast. Similar results were obtained between BsmI polymorphisms and MS. The association between TaqI polymorphism and MS showed significance in the recessive, homozygous, codominant (OR3) models in the overall population and Caucasians. The dominant model showed no association of Taq I polymorphism with MS risk in HLA-DRB1*15-positive and HLA-DRB1*15-negative groups. FokI polymorphism with MS was found in Codominant (OR3) model in the overall population. In Asians, FokI polymorphism showed association with MS in recessive, dominant, Codominant (OR1), Codominant (OR3) models and allele contrast. Subgroup analysis of sex showed no associations between TaqI or FokI polymorphism and MS risk in males or females in all models or allele contrast. CONCLUSIONS:The VDR TaqI polymorphisms showed association with MS risk, especially in Caucasians. In Asians, ApaI and FokI polymorphisms correlated with MS risk, while BsmI polymorphisms showed no association with MS.
