Background Accumulating data have suggested that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is a pretender gene for vulnerability to Parkinson disease (PD).
This study aimed to assess the relationship of VDR gene polymorphisms (FokI and ApaI) with PD.
Fifty patients suffering from PD and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included.
Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was done to assess disease severity.
Genetic testing for VDR gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (FokI and ApaI) was done using real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique.
Results Concerning frequency of genes and alleles for vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (FokI and ApaI), no statistically significant difference was found between PD patients and controls.
AC genotype was associated with younger age and younger age at onset of disease compared to CC and AA genotypes of ApaI gene polymorphisms.
CC genotype was significantly positively correlated with fatigue and urine incontinence.
VDR gene polymorphisms were not found to be independent predictors for severity of PD after adjustment for possible confounders.
Conclusion VDR gene polymorphisms are related to the clinical manifestations rather than etiology or severity of idiopathic PD.
