Popis: Objectives: The study was designed to evaluate the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes involved in Vitamin D actions (rs2228570) and metabolic pathways (rs2248137 and rs10766197) and their associations with serum 25-hydroxy Vitamin D (25(OH)D) level and asthma control in South Indian patients with bronchial asthma. Materials and Methods: One hundred and two patients of South Indian origin with bronchial asthma either naive to inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) or not receiving ICS for ≥1 month were included and were treated with ICS (beclomethasone 200 μg twice daily) for 8 weeks. One hundred and one unrelated healthy South Indians were used as controls. Pulmonary function test and fractional exhaled nitric oxide were used to assess asthma control. Serum 25(OH)D levels (chemiluminescence immunoassay) and SNPs in Vitamin D pathway (real-time polymerase chain reaction) were assessed. The associations of SNPs and serum 25(OH)D with asthma control was determined using linear regression. All analyses were performed using SPSS (version 19) and “SNPStats.” P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism (rs2228570) was found to be protective against asthma (P = 0.022), while there were no significant associations between the other two SNPs and asthma. Similarly, poor correlation and insignificant associations between the SNPs and serum 25(OH)D levels were observed in both cases and controls. There were also insignificant associations between the SNPs and asthma control. Conclusion: VDR polymorphism (rs2228570) was found to be protective against asthma in South Indians, while other genes involved in the metabolic pathway of Vitamin D did not show associations with asthma.
