Abstract
The aim: The objective of the study was to investigate the polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) BsmI gene in children with growth hormone deficiency and the level
of their vitamin D supply.
Materials and methods: Sixteen children diagnosed with of growth hormone deficiency who were treated at the State Institution «V.P. Komisarenko Institute of Endocrinology
and Metabolism of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine» were examined. The patient’s gender and age, the anthropometric data, the vitamin D level in the blood, the bone age, the GH level, the IGF-1 levels, the level of calcium in the blood and VDR gene polymorphism were taken into account.
Results: It was shown that in the presence of the G/A genotype, the risk of growth hormone deficiency development was increased OR = 1,096 (95% CI 0.39-3.02; p = 0.86). For BsmI, mean values of height, body mass, height SDS, serum 25(OH)D, in the studied population (16 children) were 123.49 ± 19.62 cm, 26.96 ± 11.11 kg, -2.25 ± 0.85, 48.86 ± 16.71 nmol/l, respectively; total calcium level consisted of 2.40 ± 0.12 mmol/l, serum phosphorus – 1.43 ± 0.11 mmol/l.
Conclusions: The allele frequency of the VDR BsmI polymorphism was 62.5% for the G allele (n = 20) and 37.5% for the allele A (n = 12). The G allele carrier of the polymorphic
locus BsmI rs1544410 of the VDR gene (rs11568820) is associated with an increased risk of growth hormone deficiency development OR = 1.31 (95% CI 0.62-2.75; p = 0.47).
