Article Abstract
Under the headline "Correlation of RANKL concentrations and VDR-FokI polymorphism on disc herniation" in the description text for Table 2, the term "allelic frequency" was used erroneously for "genotypic frequency".

FokI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor gene: Linking COVID-19 risk to genetic susceptibility in children.
Cytokine
July 2025
Clinical Pathology Department, National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Cairo, 11562, Egypt. Electronic address:
Background: Vitamin D receptor (VDR), influenced by gene polymorphisms like FokI, may affect susceptibility to infections, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since studies in children are limited, we aimed to analyze the correlation between the VDR FokI variant and both the incidence and severity of COVID-19 in Egyptian children.
Methods: Seventy-seven COVID-19-positive and 107 COVID-19-negative pediatric patients were included.

Background: Vitamin D regulates immune function, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Its deficiency is linked to sepsis, although the causal relationship remains unclear. Studies suggest a strong correlation between FokI polymorphism and sepsis in the context of vitamin D deficiency.

Department of Personalized and Molecular Medicine, Era University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, 226003, India.
Background: COVID-19 manifestations range from asymptomatic to severe, and are influenced by host genetic factors. This study examined the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms (TaqI and FokI) and transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) gene polymorphisms (rs12329760) and COVID-19 severity.
Methods And Results: 242 COVID-19 patients underwent genotyping using PCR-RFLP.
Vitamin D receptor FokI polymorphism as a risk factor for painful diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a common complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with disruption of vitamin D (VD) activity as one of the risk factors. Active VD exerts its biological functions through the vitamin D receptor (VDR), which polymorphisms in the VDR gene can impair. This study aims to establish VDR FokI and ApaI polymorphisms as risk factors for PDN.

Colloid nodules are common and benign thyroid lesions that usually progress slowly and are asymptomatic. It requires follow-up because untreated colloid nodules may develop into malignant tumor. The study aimed to examine the contributions of vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression, VDR/FokI (rs2228570) genotypes, and serum vitamin D level to the susceptibility to colloid nodules.
