Vitamin D plays a role in cancer tumorogenesis and acts through the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Although African Americans have the lowest levels of vitamin D serum levels, supplementation has not yielded significant improvement in cancer. Gene polymorphisms in VDR may play a role. There is dearth of information on VDR gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) among underrepresented ethnic groups. This study examines whether VDR SNPs, single-nucleotide-gene-polymorphisms, are associated with CRC in predominately African American and Hispanic study participants. Blood was collected from 378 participants, with 78 colorectal-cancer patients (Cases), 230 non-cancer subjects with no polyps (Controls w/o polyps), and 70 non-cancer subjects with polyps (Controls w/polyp). The four polymorphic SNPs in VDR (FokI, BsmI, TaqI, ApaI) were assessed using the PCR-RFLP method. There was significant association of the VDR-Fok1 FF genotype with CRC Cases (OR=2.9; P=0.036) when compared with Controls w/o polyps. The most common VDR-Fok1 genotype in the overall study population was the FF genotype (46%). However, upon breakdown by ethnicity, the FF was the most common in African American participants (61%), and the Ff was most common in Hispanic/Latino participants (49%). When the association was assessed in a multivariate model, there was no significant association with any VDR polymorphism and CRC Cases (P>0.05). The other three polymorphic variants of VDR (BsmI, TaqI and ApaI) were not associated with CRC. This study suggests that genetic variation of the VDR-FokI SNPs may influence CRC risk, particularly in African American cohorts.
