Popis: Background: Vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its metabolic parameters, however there are conflicting results therefore we aimed to evaluate VDR gene polymorphisms (Fok1, Bsm1 and Taq1) and vitamin D status in Egyptian patients with T2DM and to detect the associations of these polymorphisms to their metabolic parameters and glycemic control. Methods: 50 patients with T2DM and 50 healthy age matched control subjects were enrolled. FBG, 2 h –PPG, fasting lipids, Hb A1c, calcium, phosphorus, urea, creatinine, ALT, AST were measured. BMI has calculated. Serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] has measured by ELISA. VDR gene polymorphisms detection has done by polymerase chain reaction through restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Results: Our study has shown lower mean levels of 25(OH)D in patients with T2DM (28.54 ± 10.02) in comparison with control subjects (44.65 ± 7.19), p
