Abstract

BACKGROUND

Prediabetes is a crucial period for preventing and managing diabetes. This study aimed to explore the effects of CYP2R1/GC gene polymorphisms on vitamin D supplementation responsiveness in prediabetes.

METHODS

A total of 240 prediabetic participants received orally 1600 IU of vitamin D or placebo daily for 24 weeks.

RESULTS

CYP2R1 rs12794714 AA carriers had less increased 25(OH)D levels compared with GG carriers after supplementation (3.42 (0.05, 6.79) vs. 8.49 (6.14, 10.83), P = 0.038). Moreover, GC rs4588 GA carriers had less increased 25(OH)D levels compared with GG carriers (4.71 (2.64, 6.79) vs. 8.17 (6.37, 9.98), P = 0.033); it also had lower supplementation responsiveness (0.35 (0.14, 0.91), P = 0.032). GC rs4752 AG carriers had higher supplementation responsiveness compared with AA carriers (3.48 (1.05, 11.59), P = 0.042).

CONCLUSIONS

The results indicated that CYP2R1 rs12794714, GC rs4588, and GC rs4752 polymorphism were associated with vitamin D supplementation responsiveness in prediabetes.
