Abstract The immunomodulatory role of 1 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is well known. An association between vitamin D receptor VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus SLE has been reported. To examine the characteristics of VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms in patients with SLE and the relationship of polymorphisms to the susceptibility and clinical manifestations of SLE VDR genotypings of 101 Thai patients with SLE and 194 healthy controls were performed based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism PCR-RFLP . The relationship between VDR gene BsmI polymorphisms and clinical manifestations of SLE was evaluated. The distribution of VDR genotyping in patients with SLE was for BB .
