The aim of the study

Verification of the hypothesis concerning the association between polymorphic variants of the following genes: COLIA1, VDR and CALCR considered to be risk factors of bone metabolism disturbances and decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Material and methods

Clinical evaluation of CF phenotype progression in 101 patients was assessed according to the Shwachman-Kulczycki score. In the project the best value of forced expiratory volume of one second (FEV1) from the six months before densitometric measurements was used. Evaluation of bone tissue condition parameters was always correlated with the analysis of calcium-phosphate metabolism and bone turnover parameters. Densitometric measurements of L1-L4 lumbar spine were made using Lunar DPX IQ 2898. Age and sex of examined persons were standardized in respect to clinical and biochemical parameters. Molecular analysis was performed in CF patients with the following genotypes: F508del/F508del--55 persons, F508del/m--37 persons, m/m--9 persons. In this project 102 persons formed the control group. Presence of polymorphisms in studied genes was compared with bone tissue parameters.

Results

Low bone mineral density (Z-score < -1 SD) was observed in 53.5% patients and in 26.7% of them BMD was below -2 SD. Patients with low BMD had worse BMI, FEV1 and more severe symptoms of CF. Allele T (Ball) in COLIA I and allele C (L447P) in CALCR were found to be more frequent in CF patients than in the control group. Allele C in CALCR gene was associated with reduced bone mass. No significant correlation was found between COLIA1 and VDR polymorphisms and BMD.

Conclusions

Process of bone loss in CF patients starts in early childhood and recurrent respiratory infection, malnutrition and corticosteroid therapy are the main factors disturbing metabolic balance of bone tissue. There is a correlation between bone mass loss in CF patients and the appearance of defined gene alleles of bone metabolism. However, we have to emphasize that this type of study needs confirmation on larger groups of patients."xsd:string
