Summary Background. Asthma is a common childhood respiratory disease, affecting around 20% of Irish children. In other populations, vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms have been associated with asthma risk. We aimed to investigate the association between 2 VDR polymorphisms and uncontrolled paediatric asthma. Methods. 44 asthmatic children and 57 healthy volunteers were studied. The VDR TaqI gene variant in exon 9 (T/C) (rs731236) and ApaI (rs7975232) in intron 8 (C/T) were determined, using… 
Genetic polymorphisms in vitamin D pathway influence 25(OH)D levels and are associated with atopy and asthma
TLDR
Genetic variants in the vitamin D pathway affect vitamin D serum levels and, thus, atopy and asthma, in teenagers from Northeast Brazil.
Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphism and susceptibility to Asthma: meta-analysis based on 17 case-control studies.
VDR Gene Polymorphisms and Allergic Diseases: Evidence from a Meta-analysis
TLDR
Combing the results of all relevant publications proved that VDR rs7975232 ApaI, rs1544410 BsmI and rs731236 TaqI gene polymorphisms may confer susceptibility to allergic diseases in certain populations.
Associations of VDR gene polymorphisms with risk of coal workers' pneumoconiosis in Chinese Han population.
TLDR
The results suggested that ApaI T allele and GT or TT genotype and lower 25(OH)2D levels were increased the risk of CWP in Chinese Han population.
Pediatric Pulmonology
TLDR
TaqI and BsmI were associated with risk of bronchial asthma development among Egyptian children and VDR‐single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) detection has performed using polymerase chain reaction through restriction fragment length polymorphism technique.
Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphism and Myasthenia Gravis in Chinese Han Population
TLDR
In the Chinese Han population, rs731236 was found to be possibly associated with adult non-thymoma AChRAb negative MG patients, although this needs further confirmation.
Analysis of 25‐hydroxy cholecalciferol, immunoglobulin E, and vitamin D receptor single nucleotide polymorphisms (Apa1, Taq1, and Bsm1), among sample of Egyptian children with bronchial asthma: A case‐control study
The current study aimed to assess the serum levels of vitamin D and immunoglobulin E (IgE) among asthmatic Egyptian children and to find out the possible associations of vitamin D receptor (VDR)
Exploration of Vitamin D Supplementation Adjuvant Therapy for Childhood Asthma and the Best Treatment Options
TLDR
The clinical outcome of vitamin D in the treatment of asthma is not as impressive as experimental studies, but comprehensively optimizing and applying these methods is beneficial to improve the therapeutic effect.

Vitamin D receptor ApaI a allele is associated with better childhood asthma control and improvement in ability for daily activities.
TLDR
VDR ApaI aa genotype was positively associated with well-controlled asthma according to GINA and C-ACT questionnaire and negatively associated with decreased limitation in daily activities in asthmatic children, further supporting the importance of Vitamin D pathway in asthma.
Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with childhood and adult asthma.
TLDR
It is suggested that VDR influences asthma and allergy susceptibility in a complex manner, similar to findings in the Quebec study.
Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and vitamin D levels with asthma and atopy in Cypriot adolescents: a case–control study
TLDR
The minor TaqI genotype of VDR is associated with asthma in Cypriot adolescents and this polymorphism may contribute to asthma susceptibility primarily under conditions of normal vitamin D levels (>20 ng/ml).
Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms may contribute to asthma risk
TLDR
This meta-analysis provides convincing evidence that rs2228570, rs7975232, rs731236 and rs3782905 gene polymorphisms in VDR are associated with increased susceptibility to asthma, indicating VDR polymorphisms could be developed as biomarkers for asthma susceptibility.
Association study between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and asthma in the chinese han population: a case-control study
TLDR
Although the susceptibility of VDR gene variants with asthma could not be confirmed for all SNPs tested in this study, the significant association obtained for rs7975232 provides evidence for a previously unknown report about the Chinese Han population and may raise the susceptibilityof VDR to be a candidate gene for asthma.
Association of vitamin D receptor genetic variants with susceptibility to asthma and atopy.
TLDR
VDR genetic variants are identified as genetic risk factors for asthma/atopy and implicate a non-human leukocyte antigen immunoregulatory molecule in the pathogenesis of asthma and atopy.
Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Asthma Risk: Systematic Review and Updated Meta-analysis of Case–Control Studies
TLDR
Investigation of the impact of TaqI, BsmI, ApaI, and FokI VDR polymorphisms on asthma disease by using a meta-analysis approach found that gender and age and serum 25(OH) D level tended, marginally, to moderate the association between Foki polymorphism and asthma risk.
Molecular epidemiology of vitamin D receptor gene variants.
TLDR
The evidence for a role of common molecular variation in the VDR gene in osteoporosis and other diseases is reviewed and areas in need of further investigation are discussed.
