Abstract：Objective To study the association of polymorphisms of FokI rs2228570 in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and TMPRSS6 rs855791 with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) in children.Methods Quantitative real-time PCR was used to analyze the single nucleotide polymorphisms of FokI rs2228570 in the VDR gene and TMPRSS6 rs855791 in 100 children with CMPA and 100 healthy children (control group). The multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the risk factors for CMPA.Results There were significant differences in the frequencies of CC, CT, and TT genotypes of TMPRSS6 rs855791 between the CMPA and control groups (P=0.008), and the CMPA group had a significantly higher frequency of TT genotype. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the children with TT genotype of rs855791 had an increased risk of CMPA (OR=3.473, P=0.011). However, there was no significant difference in the genotype distribution of FokI rs2228570 in the VDR gene between the two groups (P=0.686).Conclusions TMPRSS6 rs855791 polymorphism is associated with CMPA in children, and TT genotype may be the susceptible genotype of CMPA. FokI rs2228570 polymorphism is not associated with CMPA.
