Abstract

The role of VDR gene BsmI (rs1544410) and FokI (rs10735810) polymorphisms in postmenopausal osteoporosis formation has been confirmed by the results of fairly large number of studies. However, pharmacogenetic aspects of above polymorphisms have not been adequately studied. The aim of this work is to study the serum levels of certain biochemical parameters, bone turnover markers, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis in the dynamics of treatment by ibandronic acid, depending on VDR gene rs1544410 and rs10735810 polymorphisms.
 We examined 117 women in dynamics of postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment. The 12-month course therapy included ibandronic acid, calcium and cholecalciferol according to the standard regimen. Detection of genetic polymorphisms was carried out by polymerase chain reaction method in real time. Twice, before the therapy start and at the end of one, the basic biochemical parameters, as well as β-Crosslaps, osteocalcin, 25(OH) D and parathyroid hormone were studied in women blood serum.
 Women with postmenopausal osteoporosis in treatment dynamics are characterized by significant decrease in serum β-CrossLaps, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase (p<0.01), as well as an increase in 25(OH)D concentrations (p<0.01). Prior to the initiation of therapy, GG genotype of the rs10735810 polymorphism of the VDR gene was associated with lower osteocalcin concentrations than in AA genotype (p<0.01). Holders of GG genotype of VDR gene rs1544410 polymorphism, in comparison with other women, are characterized (p<0.01) by lower levels of alkaline phosphatase (before treatment) and calcium (before and after treatment), higher levels of parathyroid hormone (before and after treatment).
 The obtained results can be used to develop personalized antiresorptive therapy regimens in postmenopausal osteoporosis.
